That's what I remember too, except that when you adjusted
the brightness, you did it on an unused high band channel, then switch to the
lowest unused low band channel and watch. The lightning gives the characteristic
"band flashes" on the screen. The tornado supposedly produced a constant barrage
of static.

RELATED STATIC
From tornado alley in Norman, Oklahoma:
I remember
reading many years ago about a technique of placing your
television on an
unused channel and darkening the television with
the brightness. A
nearby tornado would be indicated if the screen
brightened. I
probably should Google this before saying more.
Obviously this does
not work on cable.

I've heard stories of people in the tornado areas watching an unused TV channel in their area. Tornados supposedly generate noise in the lower channels that you can see and identify as a tornado on TV.
