Tornado awareness

Pay attention to weather alerts when conditions are ripe for the formation of tornadoes. Although twisters occur most frequently between April and July, they can happen throughout the year. The National Weather Service issues two types of alerts. A tornado watch means conditions are favorable for the development of funnel clouds and you should stay tuned. A warning means a tornado has been sighted or indicated on radar and you should seek shelter immediately.

If an alert is issued for your area, act quickly to save lives and reduce property damage.

And that’s smart safety!
