Protective Actions
Be Prepared. Have a safe room available and be ready to shelter quickly if a Tornado Warning is issued for your area or if you suspect a tornado is near. Bring pets indoors and delay travel until the threat of severe weather has passed.
In the event a Tornado Warning is issued for your area, you are encouraged to:
- Get In: Get inside a sturdy structure, find shelter in an interior room, away from windows.
- Get Low: Seek shelter on the lowest floor possible, or underground, if possible.
- Hold On: Grab on to a sturdy object and hold on.
A line of severe thunderstorms will move west to east through the region Friday night, with the chance of strong to severe thunderstorms to develop ahead of this line during the late afternoon and evening.
