It's a Twister!

The Boy went to a semi local amusement park with his school on Friday, returning late that evening. He then reffed for soccer the entire next day, resulting in one wiped-out boy. The Wife, the Girl and I went to a friend's home for euchre around 7:30, leaving the Boy at home to go to bed at a decent hour. He promised he would not stay up late as we were leaving. The following conversation occurred via phone at 10:30 that same evening:
Me - Hello?
Boy - Hi dad, there's a tornado warning on right now.
Me - For our county, are you sure? (it wasn't even raining)
Boy - Yes, I think so.
Me - How do you know this information?
Boy - I saw it on TV, they just announced it.
Me - Thank you for letting me know, now go to bed. You should have been in bed hours ago.
Boy - But what about the tornado?
Me - I'll call you if anything happens, now go to bed.

He told me the next day that he did go to bed, 30 minutes later. No tornado materialized and all are safe, even the very tired future weatherman.
