Tornadoes are frightening realities. We can't prevent them or even predict where or when they will strike. Many of us aren't sure what we should do during a tornado. But there are some precautions we can take to minimize danger - to people and property. In this case you should take precautions to protect you and your property, and listen to the radio to keep informed.
Tornadoes are most likely to occur in the late afternoon on a hot spring day.
However, tornadoes have occured in every month at all times of the day or night. And be prepared to act quickly. There is little time for closing windows or hunting for flashlight. It's a good idea to know where things are, and to have an emergency storm kit already prepared. Separating fact from myth can mean the difference between injury and safety in the case of a tornado.
