The months of March through May are known as our traditional spring Severe Weather Season.

Tornado WATCH:
means that conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes in and close to the watch area.

Tornado WARNING:
means that a developing tornado has been detected by National Weather Service Doppler Radar or has been reported on the ground by reliable sources.

Tornado Safety Rules:
If you are in a home or business:
Go to the basement or a small interior room such as a closet, bathroom, or interior hallway without windows on the lowest level. Put as many walls between yourself and the outside as possible. If possible, get under something sturdy, such as a heavy table, or use a mattress to protect yourself from flying debris. Most injuries associated with high winds are from flying debris, so remember to protect your head. If available, put on a bicycle or motorcycle helmet to protect yourself from head injuries.
