Nope, it was just issued at 4:28 CST...just a few minutes ago. This is the first Tornado Warning for Galveston County.

LOL! But I do see what you mean about the rest of that warning. Not sure what they meant to say there. Maybe it was a typo on the time.

At 1:00pm, the tornado watch was extended until 6:00pm for here. I'm sure it'll be extended again.
