Statement as of 12:14 am CDT on May 21, 2013 ... Safety rules for tornadoes... A Tornado Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service for all of the quad state area with the exception of the southern Kentucky pennyrile area. This watch is in effect until 5 am Tuesday morning. The following safety tips are being provided in hope that the broadcast media will frequently broadcast these messages while the watch affects their area. A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms which can produce tornadoes in and close to the watch area. If you are in the watch area... keep informed of the latest weather information. These storms can develop rapidly so there may be occasions when advance warning is not possible. A Tornado Warning means a tornado has been spotted or indicated by radar. If you are in the path or near the tornado... take immediate action to protect life and property. Follow these safety rules. In open country... find a ditch... culvert or other low area and lay down flat. Cover your head with your hands for protection. In homes or small buildings... go to the basement or a small interior room on the lowest floor like a Hall or bathroom closet. Use heavy furniture for shelter or cover yourself with a mattress or blanket. In Mobile homes or vehicles... abandon it and go to a substantial structure or place of safety. Never try to outrun a tornado in a vehicle. In schools... hospitals... factories or shopping centers... go to designated shelter areas. Interior Halls on the lowest levels are usually the best. Stay away from gymnasiums or auditoriums. Avoid all outside walls and windows. The key to tornado survival is to be prepared and take immediate action when a warning is issued or when you feel threatened. Remember... the actions you take during a tornado event may save your life and the lives of those you are responsible for. |
