🛡️ Tornado Safety

What to know before, during, and after a tornado

⚠️ Tornado Watch

🌪️ Step 2

Tornado Warning — Take Cover NOW

A tornado has been sighted or indicated by radar. Move immediately to an interior room on the lowest floor (basement, bathroom, closet). Get under sturdy furniture. Stay away from windows.
