Tornado Before a tornado hits, it is important to know the difference between a tornado watch and a tornado warning. Tornado Watch - Tornadoes are possible. Remain alert for approaching storms. Watch the sky and stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio or television for information. Tornado Warning - A tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. Take shelter immediately. TORNADO WARNING If you are outside and in a space without enclosed shelter (e.g. public park space): If you are not in a sturdy building, there is no single research -based recommendation for what last -resort action to take because many factors can affect your decision. Possible actions include: - Immediately get into a vehicle, buckle your seat belt and try to drive to the closest sturdy shelter. If your vehicle is hit by flying debris while you are driving, pull over and park. -Take cover in a stationary vehicle. Put the seat belt on and cover your head with your arms and a blanket, coat or other cushion if possible. - Lie in an area noticeably lower than the level of the roadway and cover your head with your arms and a blanket, coat or other cushion if possible. In all situations: - Do not get under an overpass or bridge. You are safer in a low, flat location. - Never try to outrun a tornado in urban or congested areas in a car or truck. Instead, leave the vehicle immediately for safe shelter. Watch out for flying debris. Flying debris from tornadoes causes most fatalities and injuries. - Remember that we do have a responsibility to the safety of our event guests. Stay calm, lead by example and encourage those around you to take shelter/seek low ground.
