 A tornado warning has been issued for your area. Residents should seek shelter inside a sturdy structure and seek information on a local AM radio station such as WBAP-820, a NOAA weather radio, or a local television station. Outdoor warning signs have been activated and emergency text messages have been sent via nixle.com. Do not go outside to view or take pictures of an approaching funnel. All people should move to the most interior windowless room in the structure or, if available, a residential in-ground or manufactured tornado shelter. Bathrooms and closets work well as long as they are on the ground floor or basement and do not have an exterior wall. Carry a portable radio with you so you can monitor the situation as it develops. Sit on the floor and cover yourself with a blanket, towels, bed cover, or even a light mattress to help protect you from flying or falling debris. If you are outside and cannot reach a sturdy shelter, get to the lowest lying area to you such as a drainage ditch. Lay prone and place your hands on top of your head, keeping your head as close to the ground as possible. For additional information about tornado safety, visit knowwhattodo.com.
