...time for tornado warnings from three to eight minutes, on average. Sometimes the warning comes even earlier. Last month weather forecasters in Little Rock, Arkansas, called a tornado warning for communities in the Ozark Mountains a full 35 minutes before the twister showed up, giving people who lived in trailer homes time to scurry to friends' basements for safety...
