Tornado Safety Tips

WATCHES AND WARNINGS

Tornado Watch
Conditions are right for tornadoes to form. When your area is under a Tornado Watch, continue to stay tuned to WAVE 3 for possible warnings.

Tornado Warning
A tornado has been spotted by a trained observer or detected on Doppler Radar. Take action immediately.

TORNADO SAFETY TIPS

At Home

  • Go to the basement, under the stairs or under a heavy piece of furniture like a table or workbench.
  • Get under heavy furniture, and cover your head with blankets or pillows. The biggest threat of death or injury comes from head injuries caused by flying or falling debris.
  • Keep windows closed and stay away from them.

In School

  • Go to the lowest floor or basement.
  • Get to interior rooms or hallways and protect your head.
  • Stay out of gymnasiums and auditoriums.
  • In Public Buildings
  • Go to designated shelter, an interior hallway or small room on the lowest floor.
  • Stay away from windows.
  • Do not go to your car.

In Open Country

  • Move away from a tornado at right angles.
  • If a tornado is near, DO NOT try to outrun it.
  • Get out of your car, lie flat in a ditch or depression.
  • Stay away from large trees or metal poles. Cover your head.

In Mobile Homes

  • Leave your mobile home immediately.
  • If there is no designated community shelter, take cover in a ditch or depression.
  • Persons in mobile homes should have a plan of action before threatening weather occurs.
Remember IF you sustain damage to your home or auto, report the claim to your insurance company. Here is the link to the Claims Department of most of the companies we currently represent
