Before a Tornado

• Prepare an emergency kit and make a family communications plan
• Listen to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television newscasts 
• Be alert to changing weather conditions and watch for approaching storms

Danger Signs Include:

• Dark, often greenish, sky
• Large hail
• A large, dark, low-lying cloud (especially when rotating)
• Loud roar, similar to a freight train
• If you see approaching storms or any of the danger signs, be prepared to take shelter immediately
