Be Ready! Tornadoes

• Look up! If you see any of these danger signs, take shelter immediately:
  • a dark or green colored sky
  • large, dark, low-lying cloud
  • large hail
  • loud roar similar to a freight train
• Get out! Don’t stay in a mobile home during a tornado. Find a sturdy building, or seek shelter outside.
• Watch out! Most fatalities and injuries are caused by flying debris.
• Tornado watch: Tornadoes are possible. Be alert to changing conditions.
  Tornado warning: A tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. Take shelter immediately.
• Stay tuned! Listen to local radio and TV stations for weather updates. Take shelter if a tornado warning is issued.
• Be cautious! Do not try to outrun a tornado. Find a sturdy building to take shelter or stop your car, put your head below the windows, and cover your head.
• Take shelter! The safest place is the interior part of a basement or an inside room, without windows, on the lowest floor.
