Know the difference!
A tornado WATCH means tornadoes are possible in and near your area. Be ready to act fast!
A tornado WARNING means Take Action! A tornado is near. There is danger. Move to a safe location right away.
- Find a safe room built to withstand high winds. The next best protection is a small room with no windows on the lowest level of a sturdy building.
- Mobile, manufactured, trailer homes and recreational vehicles (RVs) are not safe in high-wind events. Plan ahead by finding a sturdy building to shelter in before a tornado watch or warning.
