This is the time to remind family members where the safest places within your home are located, and listen to the radio or television for further developments. A tornado warning is issued when a tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. If a tornado warning is issued for your area and the sky becomes threatening, move to your pre-designated place of safety. Turn on a battery-operated radio and wait for further instructions. When the sirens sound to notify you of bad weather conditions please tune into a local broadcast channel.
Mobile homes are particularly vulnerable.
A mobile home can overturn very easily even if precautions have been taken to tie down the unit. When a tornado warning is issued, take shelter in a building with a strong foundations. If shelter is not available, lie in a ditch or low-lying area a safe distance away from the unit. Look for signs of debris below the visible funnel. Some tornadoes are clearly visible, while others are obscured by rain or nearby low-hanging clouds.
