TORNADOES
Tornadoes are violent by nature; they are
capable of completely destroying well-made
structures, uprooting trees and hurling objects
through the air like deadly missiles.
Here are some of the things that people describe
when they tell about a tornado experience:
1. A sickly green or greenish-black color to the sky.
2. If there is a watch or warning posted, then hail should be
considered as a real danger sign.
3. A strange quiet that occurs within or shortly after the thun-
derstorm.
4. Clouds moving by very fast, especially in a rotating pattern
or converging toward one area of the sky.
5. A sound a little like a waterfall or rushing air at first, but
turning into a roar as it comes closer. The sound of a tornado
has been likened to that of both railroad trains and jets.
6. Debris dropping from the sky.
7. An obvious “funnel-shaped” cloud that is rotating, or debris
such as branches or leaves being pulled upwards, even if no
funnel cloud is visible.
Know the Difference
A
Tornado Watch
means that tornadoes are possible in and
near the watch area.
A
Tornado Warning
means that a tornado has been sighted
or indicated by weather radar. Tornado warnings indicate im-
minent danger to life and property. Take shelter immediately.
Is it likely that a tornado will strike your home? No, but being
ready for the possibility will keep you safer!
Tornado Safety Rules
1. Seek shelter under a sturdy table in the lowest level of your
home. You can also take shelter in a small interior room or
hallway, or a room on the opposite side from a tornado. Stay
away from windows.
2. In schools, churches, and shopping centers, go to designated
shelters away from outside walls, glass, and large rooms (malls,
auditoriums). Get under a table or counter or in a restroom or
small storeroom. Do not go to your parked car.
3. In a vehicle, drive away at a right angle to the stormmovement.
If it is not possible to get away from the tornado, try to find a
building in which to seek shelter. There is a controversy over
staying in a car versus getting in a ditch during a tornado. To
read more about this subject, visit the website

it is NOT safe to take shelter under a bridge or overpass; see
