(10:05 a.m. est) The difference between a tornado clock and a tornado warning

When the weather is active, it is important to know the difference between watches and warnings.

A tornado clock means that tornadoes are possible in the clock area or in other places nearby. A watch means that you should pay close attention to weather notifications and be ready to take immediate measures. Any structures in need of living space or structures in need of protection should be considered to go to greater protection.

A tornado warning means that it is time to take measures now – to quickly pull your protection or safe space and stay there until the warning is over.

(8:59 a.m. EST) Squall Line threats today

Today is a good example of why you should take serious warnings for T-Storm as seriously as tornado warnings, such as the senior meteorologist from Weather.com, Chris Dolce.

Wind gusts that drain trees and can knock out the strength are probably in the line of heavy T-storms that roll through the south. You don't need a tornado to do that. A falling tree can be life -threatening. And as we have already seen this morning, tornados can quickly form within the series of heavy T-storms. Look for protection with a strong T-Storm or tornado warning today.

The serious threat ended both in Dallas-FT. Value and Oklahoma City, although gusty winds remain.
