Here are some tips and tricks to help you stay safe during tomorrow's storms!

If you are at home during a tornado:

• Go to a windowless interior room on lowest level of your house. Go to a storm cellar or basement if your house has one. If there is no basement, go to an inner hallway or a smaller inner room without windows, such as a bathroom or closet.


• Get away from the windows.


• Go to the center of the room. Stay away from corners because they tend to attract debris.


• Get under a piece of sturdy furniture such as a workbench or heavy table or desk and hold on to it.


• Use your arms to protect head and neck.


• If you are in a mobile home, get out and find shelter elsewhere.

If you are at work or school during a tornado:

• Go to the basement or to an inside hallway at the lowest level.


• Avoid places with wide-span roofs such as auditoriums, cafeterias, large hallways, or shopping malls.


• Get under a piece of sturdy furniture such as a workbench or heavy table or desk and hold on to it.


• Use your arms to protect head and neck.

If you are outdoors during a tornado:

• If possible, get inside a building.


• If shelter is not available or there is no time to get indoors, lie in a ditch or low-lying area or crouch near a strong building. Look out for flood waters which may also fill low areas.


• Use your arms to protect head and neck.

If you are in a car during a tornado:

• Never try to drive faster than a tornado in a car or truck. Tornadoes can change direction quickly and can lift up a car or truck and toss it through the air.


• Get out of the car immediately and take shelter in a nearby building.


• If there is no time to get indoors, get out of the car and lie in a ditch or low-lying area away from the vehicle. Be aware of the potential for flooding.
