 TORNADO!
The very word strikes fear in many people. While a tornado is
perhaps nature's most destructive storm, deaths and injuries can
be prevented. By following Tornado Safety Rules, lives can be
saved and injuries prevented. |
|
TORNADO WATCH:
This means that conditions are favorable for tornado
development. This is the time to prepare. You should keep alert
by listening to NOAA Weather Radio, or the commercial media for
the latest weather information. |
|
TORNADO WARNING:
This means a tornado has been sighted or indicated by radar.
People in the path of the storm should take immediate life
saving action. |
|
IN SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, FACTORIES, SHOPPING CENTERS AND OTHER
PUBLIC PLACES:
Move to designated shelter areas. Interior hallways on the
lowest level are usually best. Stay away from windows and out of
auditoriums, gymnasiums, or other structures with large free
span roofs. |
|
IN VEHICLES:
Do not try to outrun a tornado. Abandon your vehicle and hide in
a nearby ditch or depression and cover your head. |
