Tornado season has arrived, and it runs through September. #BePrepared and know the facts and preparedness measures to take:
- Most tornadoes develop in the late afternoon and early evening;
- They are often hard to see from far away and may not have a visible funnel cloud;
- They usually come from the south or west but can change direction quickly.
If disaster strikes, shelter in place by moving quickly and calmly to a room in the basement or lowest floor that is away from windows. If you are outside, seek shelter in a sturdy building or get out of your vehicle, crouch low to the ground and cover your head. Do not take shelter underneath a bridge or overpass.
