or if you are on the Road. Listen to weather radio or local media for updated
weather information.

A warning means a severe thunderstorm or tornado has been observed
or is indicated by Doppler weather radar. If a warning is issued for your
location... immedieately put your emergency safety plan into action.

... Severe thunderstorms may produce...

Strong damaging winds... damaging downburst winds associated with a
severe thunderstorm will be greater than 60mph. Go indoors or into a
basement or storm shelter and stay away from windows.

Large hail... destructive hail associated with a severe thunderstorm will be
greater than one inch in diameter. Go indoors or into a basement and stay

Heavy rain... heavy rain may produce flash flooding quickly. Avoid low lying

Tornadoes... tornadoes are natures most violent storms. The best
shelters are a basement or underground storm shelter... on the lowest floor
in the middle of the building... or in an interior hallway or designated shelter
