Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.

Tornado risk? Or just very very stormy? Weighing whether to take kiddos to their indoor activity later on.

I don't see radar evidence of a tornado on the ground at the moment (7:25 pm), but the storm has a history of tornadoes, and has a nice strong rotation. Assume that it could produce again at any moment. Blue outlined area: tornado precautions, please.

Ellettsville -- no tornado warning for most of you, but you'll get the largest hail. Starting in just minutes. Bloomington: - northern part of town: take precautions, we'll see how close the circulation comes to you - southern part of town: this *definitely* includes you

Because of the direction of motion of these storms -- and any others that might develop that aren't on screen yet -- we'll have a tornado threat for the next couple of hours. Starting with the storm that's now moving toward Bloomfield, and then on it's way toward us.

When you say "south of the main area of town" does that include the campus area of town? Thank you!
