Those in affected areas should stay up-to-date with the latest weather developments and be prepared to go to your safe place if necessary. It's a good idea not to go to sleep until the severe weather threat has passed your area.
A tornado warning means a tornado has been spotted or indicated by the radar. Stay in your safe place until the threat of a tornado has passed. Have a pre-determined place to meet after a disaster. Using text messaging instead of calling on cell phones is often more successful during times of destructive weather.
