Trigger warning: This is the moment during Tuesday night’s Asheville City Council meeting when the emergency alert went out for an official tornado warning. City officials stopped their meeting and ordered everyone into a safe space in City Hall until the storm passed. Mayor Esther Manheimer said that as far as she knew, a City Council meeting had never before been interrupted by a tornado warning and advisory to seek safe shelter.

Okay but it was in the weather news for days that there was a threat of storms. If city council is reading this, please stay up to date on the news (I know some of you do).

We got the alert, which I questioned at first. But when Thermo Fisher's security operations center serves you a warning, you go to the basement.

To be fair, the city council meeting room is probably the safest room to be in. It's built like a fortress🤣
