Tornado

Tornadoes can be a devastating act of nature. These storms can reach winds of 300 mph and can level homes, business and entire towns in within minutes. Your best defense is to be ready and know what to do if a tornado should strike. Discuss a plan with your family and practice it.  Set up a means of communication and make sure each family member stays in contact with each other and know the closest evacuation center.  Make sure you have an emergency kit that includes food, water and medical supplies in the event of injuries. Stay informed – pay close attention to weather alerts - it’s always a good idea to have a weather radio on hand. The most important is to find shelter – if you are in a structure, find the most interior room of your home and stay away from windows and doors. Put as many walls as possible between you and the storm. Following these safety tips can help protect you and your family in the event a Tornado should strike.
