Tornado security tips before storm threats

(WPDE) – Before storm, it is important to upgrade security tips, facts and weather education in order to be one step ahead of the storm. Willingness and planning are the key.

With storms in the forecast on Wednesday, March 5, for Grand Strand, Pee Dee and border belt, knowledge is power.

Let us go through the difference between a clock and a warning. Regardless of whether we discuss a heavy thunderstorm, a tornado watch, a heavy storm warning or a tornado warning, the analogy of the cooking is useful. In this example, we will compare them with the cooking of Tacos.

When the ingredients for tacos come together and prepare, you know that the Tacos will probably occur within a certain time. This is similar to a severe thunderstorm or a tornado watch. The atmosphere has collected ingredients for heavy thunderstorms or tornadoes, and in one clock the atmosphere prepares these ingredients during the time when the watch takes place.

When a taco has been prepared and is ready to eat, this is similar to a severe thunderstorm warning or a tornado warning. The atmosphere has put together all the ingredients, and a heavy thunderstorm or a tornado will occur or appear.

This means that a watch is the time to plan and prepare if you did not do this before the clock is output. In a perfect world, plans and preparations would be completed the day before storm appears. A clock is also to stay vigilant when it was set up for her region. Have several ways to get weather information during a watch.

A warning means that it is time to seek protection immediately. If it is a severe thunderstorm warning, Shelter means being inside and path of windows.

If it is a tornado warning, Shelter means going to the lowest floor in your house and protecting it in an interior without a window. This is usually a bathroom or a closet. Make a “go-bag” with important documents, medicine, clothing and other necessities that your household may need if a tornado hits.

Pets should join this interior.

It is recommended to have things that can cover your head when you have flying debris such as a bicycle helmet, pillow or mattress.

Before storm, it is important to record your home on a card. In this way you know where you are when you see a storm cover where you are when the chief meteorologist Ed Piotrowski shows the threats to Radar.

It is not certain while tornadoes are on the streets in a vehicle. If you are on the go during a tornado warning, try to look for protection in a nearby building.

Whatever you do when you are in this situation, do not look for bridges or transfer. This creates a great danger for other drivers on the street, as they may not know that they are there. It could also block emergency vehicles and the winds under bridges and overpasses will be even more concentrated than outside.

If there is no shelter nearby, stop your car and seat belt while becoming as deep as possible and cover your head. Use road ditches on the side of the road as the last resort, but think of the water building in trenches from precipitation.

When you live in an apartment, the best place where a tornado warning can be issued is the lowest floor of your complex.

Mobile homes are not safe in Tornados. Also don't try to escape a tornado in a car. If you live in a mobile home, checking the weather forecast for the possibility of storms and tornados is an essential component. If there is storm in the forecast, you have a robust structure that you can reach with storm.

It is also important to take your mental health into account before, during and after storms. Storm and tornados are very stressful events, and storm fear is a normal reaction. Stay consciously, prepared and have a plan to help with storm fear.
