Tornadoes can occur anywhere or anytime.
These devastating storms come in many different shapes and sizes. Tornadoes frequently are associated with severe thunderstorms, particularly storms which produce hail and high winds. No place is completely safe from a tornado, but you can lessen the impact on you and your family by being prepared. What to watch for Tornado conditions are characterized by a dark, often greenish sky, tall dark clouds, hail and a loud roar similar to a freight train. Pay attention to the local news media, particularly when the conditions are right for the development of severe storms.
