Be suspicious of callers who claim to be taking a statistical survey of the number and type of appliances, cameras, radios, etc. that you own, or who declare that you have won a prize. Even if the caller identifies himself and sounds legitimate, Do not give out personal information over the phone. Simply hang up if the caller is unpleasant or persistent. Report any annoying phone calls to the telephone company and the Police Department. The safest place indoors is in a basement, away from windows that may shatter or under a heavy piece of furniture.
Tornadoes usually occur in the Spring.
Be familiar with the weather conditions and know where to take shelter. The danger of actual frostbite, injury to skin tissue from the extreme cold, can be a problem in this climate when there is strong wind combined with cold temperature. A feeling of severe chill or numbness in your hands, feet or face may occur. Do not try to warm these parts of your body by using hot water. If you suspect frostbite, see a doctor immediately.
