Tornado Watch Issued.

Tornado watch

1. Stay informed: Keep up to date with the latest weather information by listening to local news and weather reports, and by checking the National Weather Service website or social media accounts.

2. Prepare your shelter: Make sure you have a designated safe place to go in case of a tornado. This could be a basement, storm shelter, or interior room on the lowest level of your home or building. Have emergency supplies like food, water, and a first aid kit on hand.

3. Stay away from windows: If you are in a building during a tornado watch, stay away from windows and exterior walls. If possible, go to an interior room or hallway.

4. Stay tuned for tornado warnings: A tornado warning means that a tornado has been sighted or indicated on radar, and you should take immediate shelter. Follow the instructions of local authorities and seek shelter in your designated safe place.

5. Be prepared to evacuate: If you live in an area that is prone to tornadoes, make sure you have an evacuation plan in place. Identify a safe place to go outside of the tornado zone and be prepared to evacuate quickly if necessary.

Remember, tornadoes can strike quickly and without warning, so it is important to take tornado watches seriously and be prepared to take action if necessary. Stay safe and stay informed!
