There is no tornado warning currently issued for Charlottesville. An email alert advising of a tornado warning was sent in error.

University operators were conducting training this afternoon and inadvertently sent the "TORNADO" warning email message. Several departments are already planning to discuss how to make sure a similar error is avoided. We apologize for the unnecessary alarm caused by this error.
