Tornado safety, from NWS: a Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes, so be prepared to act quickly. Know your safe place (a basement, storm shelter or an interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows), keep more than one way to receive warnings, including a NOAA Weather Radio and phone alerts, and if a Tornado Warning is issued for your area, go to your safe place immediately. Mobile homes are not safe in a tornado; know where you will go ahead of time.
