Knowledge and Speed Key to Tornado Safety Warnings

In high tornado areas, knowledge and quick response save lives. A WATCH alerts you to stay alert and ready for a WARNING about tornadoes or severe storms. Seek shelter in interior halls, basements, or sturdy furniture, avoid wide windows, and move away from outdoor hazards. Stay updated by radio or TV for advisories.
