Safety Rules For Severe Thunderstorms
...Safety Rules For Severe Thunderstorms - For Media to Broadcast... A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service for much of central Kentucky and south-central Indiana. 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 Severe Thunderstorm Watch means that conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. If you are in the watch area, keep up to date on the latest weather information. These storms can develop rapidly so there may be occasions when advance warning is not possible. A Severe Thunderstorm Warning means a severe thunderstorm has been observed or indicated by radar. If you are in the path or near the storm, take immediate actions to protect life and property. Follow these safety rules: 1) In open country...you should seek shelter and avoid trees which can be targets for lightning. If there is no shelter, go to a ditch or culvert but beware of rising water which can cause flooding. 2) When indoors...stay away from outside walls and windows and go to an interior room on the lowest level. Avoid using electrical appliances while the storm is nearby. 3) In mobile homes...you should leave and seek nearby safe shelter. 4) If swimming or on a boat...you should get to shore as quickly as possible and find shelter. A thunderstorm is considered severe when it contains one inch of larger diameter size hail and/or wind gusts of 58 miles an hour or greater. A severe thunderstorm also produces deadly lightning and very heavy rain, which can lead to flash flooding. Remember...with any severe thunderstorm, there is always the possibility of tornadoes. $$ lg
SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING FROM ILLINOIS TO INDIANA WILL SPARK THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IN THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED. DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT. ISOLATED TORNADOES AND TORRENTIAL RAINS WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN. LOCAL FLASH FLOODING MAY DEVELOP
UNDER THE STRONGER STORMS…ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHERN INDIANA AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY.
LARGE HAIL AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING WILL BE ADDITIONAL POSSIBILITIES.
THE MOST LIKELY TIME FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE BETWEEN 4PM AND 10PM.
STAY TUNED TO YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS AND NOAA WEATHER RADIO AS UPDATES OCCUR.
