Tornadoes are nature's most violent and erratic storms. A tornado can travel for miles along the ground, lift, and suddenly change direction and strike again. There is little you can do to protect your home or workplace from the strength of tornado winds, but there are actions you can take to protect yourself and your family.
Conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop.
Move cars inside a garage or carport. Move lawn furniture and yard equipment inside, if time permits. Otherwise, they could become damaged or act as dangerous projectiles, causing serious injury or damage. If you're home, keep your radio or TV tuned to weather reports and account for family members. Gather supplies and identify where you're going to be during the storm.
