A tornado was exhibited for parts of the middle georgies until 4 a.m., including Lamar and Upson Counties. Further clocks will be exhibited later for the rest of the Middle Georgia this evening when heavy storms from Alabama move to the east.
A watch means being prepared, while a warning means taking measures and immediately looking for protection.
Call to act: make every storm event ready to act immediately. Do you have several reliable paths to maintain steeplets and never rely on an outdoor siren. Each Georgia house and every shop require a NOAA weather radio (the most popular model is the Midland WR-1220, which is sold in most local big box retailers).
On the other option is your phone, make sure that emergency warnings are activated (under Settings and notifications) and install the free WGXA Skywatch -Wetter app. There are not only push notifications to alert them when a watch or warning is exhibited for your location, but also an interactive radar on the street level. In this way you can see where the storms are and with the future radar where the storms appear.
Know the safe place in your house and have helmets for everyone at this safe place. Bicycle helmets and impact helmets work well. We also recommend portable air horns and hard shoes for everyone.
If you live in an apartment complex, you cannot stand above the first level. Protection with a friend in the ground or ask the management whether he can open the clubhouse during a tornado warning.
If you live in a mobile home, you cannot spend the night there during a tornado warning, you offer little to know to know the protection against heavy storms. Know the location of the nearest animal shelter or the business that is open around the clock. Know how to get there quickly.
A car is a death trap during a tornado. When you drive and receive a tornado warning message, pull off as soon as possible and go to a petrol station, a Fast -Food restaurant or any other company that can serve as accommodation.
Be a hero: you can help us. Tell your friends, neighbors and relatives about the threat and what you have to do to get ready. And if you fall into a tornado warning polygon, call them or write an SMS to inform you about the threat. You are our most valuable resource in spreading the word!
This is also the core of our storm season in Middle Georgia, so events like this are not unusual. Many of them are afraid of storms, especially about those who have gone through tornados or other types of violent weather. If you know, if you know, even on the greatest storm days, the likelihood that a house will be hit by a tornado is very low. But they have to be careful and prepared. We will get through the event together.
