…SAFETY RULES FOR TORNADOES…
...SAFETY RULES FOR TORNADOES... 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 OF 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, SUCH AS A HALLWAY, BATHROOM, OR CLOSET. USE HEAVY FURNITURE FOR SHELTER OR COVER YOURSELF WITH A MATTRESS OR BLANKET. IN MOBILE HOMES OR VEHICLES, ABANDON THEM 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 ACTION YOU TAKE DURING A TORNADO EVENT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE AND THE LIVES OF THOSE YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR. $$

a personal note on threatening weather…
I’m not quite sure what has inspired me to write this little note, but I must say that I have this deep feeling that it needs to be said.
If you follow the multiple posts and status updates that I make to the EM website, Facebook page, Twitter account, and G+ page–awesome! Thank you!–but… you do realize that in a true weather emergency, none of this is a replacement for a NOAA Weather Radio, don’t you?
I’m all for alternative media consumption–especially social media–as it typically moves fast, is easily updated/modified, and can be tailored to one’s interests; but something has to be said for traditional methods–especially when it comes to matters related to threats of dangerous weather phenomena. Your NOAA Weather Radio–with a battery backup–is more reliable than your connection to the Internet; any break in an electricity, telephone, or cable line will sever your ability to get an RSS feed, tweet or status update–whether it’s by PC, tablet or smartphone. The only thing that can kill your connection to the NWS is the–God forbid–destruction of their broadcast towers.
Furthermore; in the event that a true emergency–speaking mainly on the topic of say, a Tornado Warning–occurs, I’ll likely be too busy grabbing my kids and running to the bathroom to post anything.
So, please, if you don’t have a Weather Radio, run to Walmart and get one; and if it doesn’t have a battery in it–install one!
