The panel discussed Doppler radar, Fujita scale rankings from F0 to F5, historic Illinois twisters including Plainfield Crest Hill 1990 and the 1925 tri state event, and the role of spotters in saving lives.

Tornado safety cautions contradict common myths

Experts warn most tornado deaths happen in mobile homes and autos. Abandon vehicles and seek shelter in a ditch or culvert. Do not rely on window opening or home corners. Large-span roofs like gyms and malls are particularly dangerous. Stay inside and down, as open windows can worsen damage.
