On April 13th at 1:30PM, there will be a tornado drill held in Michigan. There have been various announcements on TV and on NOAA Weather (All Hazards) Radio. In lieu of the normal weekly test, they are going to run a full-on tornado SAME code to the weather radios and broadcast media. It was announced on NOAA Weather Radio as well.
