What to do to prepare for a tornado that may be in Kingsville md 6/5/2017

• During any storm, listen to local news or a NOAA Weather Radio to stay informed about watches and warnings.


• Know your community’s warning system. Communities have different ways of warning residents about tornadoes, with many having sirens intended for outdoor warning purposes.


• Pick a safe room in your home where household members and pets may gather during a tornado. This should be a basement, storm cellar or an interior room on the lowest floor with no windows.


• Practice periodic tornado drills so that everyone knows what to do if a tornado is approaching.


• Consider having your safe room reinforced. Plans for reinforcing an interior room to provide better protection can be found on the FEMA Web site at http://www.fema.gov/ plan/prevent/rms/rmsp453.shtm.


• Prepare for high winds by removing diseased and damaged limbs from trees.


• Move or secure lawn furniture, trash cans, hanging plants or anything else that can be picked up by the wind and become a projectile.

Watch for tornado danger signs:

• Dark, often greenish clouds—a phenomenon caused by hail


• Wall cloud—an isolated lowering of the base of a thunderstorm


• Cloud of debris


• Large hail


• Funnel cloud—a visible rotating extension of the cloud base


• Roaring noise
