develop in the area. Keep alert and watch for changing weather
conditions, and listen to local news and weather updates.
Tornado Warning: a tornado has been sighted in the area, or

windows, outside walls, or doors. If in a mobile home – get out
and find shelter elsewhere!
At School/Work - go to basement or hallways at the lowest
level.
Outdoors – if possible, get inside a building. Lie in a ditch or a
low area or crouch near a strong building.
