During a tornado, it is important to seek shelter immediately. If you are indoors, go to a basement or an interior room without windows. If you are outdoors, find a low-lying area and cover your head with your hands. Avoid seeking shelter in a mobile home or vehicle.
The average duration of a tornado is about 10 minutes, but they can range from a few seconds to over an hour. It is important to stay in shelter until the storm has passed and it is safe to come out.
Some common signs of a tornado include a dark, greenish sky, large hail, a rotating wall cloud, and a loud roaring sound. However, tornadoes can also occur without any visible indications, so it is important to pay attention to weather alerts and take shelter if necessary.
No, it is not safe to go outside immediately after a tornado warning has ended. It is important to wait for an official "all clear" announcement from local authorities before leaving your shelter. There may still be dangerous debris or downed power lines in the area.
If your home is damaged by a tornado, it is important to stay away from any downed power lines and contact emergency services if necessary. Take photos of the damage for insurance purposes and follow any safety precautions given by local authorities. If your home is no longer safe to stay in, find temporary shelter with friends, family, or at a designated shelter location.
