I don't know if it's the same system which spawned that tornado which 
we're getting today, but after repeated warnings about the 
possibility of severe weather when it arrived today since the 
beginning of the week, this morning they have changed their minds 
about the possibility of tornadoes or similar damaging weather and 
are just forecasting rain for a good part of the day with the 
possibility of flooding in some areas as the thing to be on the 
lookout for . . .

(OTOH the previous couple of storms which caused damage in areas to 
the west and north of here did cause damage here in the state when 
they came through, so this is some improvement . . .)
