We are once again in the tornado season. Please take note of the following facts, and be prepared to minimize the danger to yourselves and your property. Sirens are mounted on poles throughout the Ballwin area. They are sounded whenever severe weather threatens public safety as explained above.

Tornadoes can occur anytime, but are most likely to occur in the late afternoon on a hot day.
If a tornado warning is issued for your area, you should seek shelter immediately. There is little time for closing windows or searching for a flashlight. In the basement under something sturdy. If there is no basement, a small room in the middle of the house is best. Always stay away from outside walls and windows.
