Thunderstorm watches/warnings
A severe thunderstorm watch is issued when atmospheric conditions are ideal for thunderstorms capable of winds of 58 mph or greater and quarter-sized hail or greater. This means to watch out for changing weather conditions and the potential for a warning.
A severe thunderstorm warning is issued when a storm can produce dangerously high winds or large hail. Tornadoes can also develop even when there is a severe thunderstorm warning. You should always shelter during a severe storm.
A tornado warning means that a tornado has been spotted or indicated by radar, or there is strong indication that a funnel will touch down. This means that there is imminent danger to the warned area. Get indoors and shelter immediately!
Where should you take cover during a storm?
Home
Go to the basement or lowest level of your home. If there is not a basement, get into an interior room or closet. Avoid being near windows.
Mobile Home
If you have enough time before a severe thunderstorm or possible tornado arrives, go to a nearby sturdy building and wait out the storm.
Driving
It is not safe to try to ride out or outrun a tornado in your vehicle. Get inside the nearest building.
Outside
Find the nearest building to go inside. If you cannot get to the building in time, try to find a ditch, lie flat, and cover your head.
