Before a Tornado

·        Prepare an emergency kit and make a family communications plan

·        Listen to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television newscasts 

·        Be alert to changing weather conditions and watch for approaching storms

Danger Signs Include:

·        Dark, often greenish, sky

·        Large hail

·        A large, dark, low-lying cloud (especially when rotating)

·        Loud roar, similar to a freight train

If you see approaching storms or any of the danger signs, be prepared to take shelter immediately
