CALL TO ACTION: Be sure you have a way of hearing severe weather watches and warnings. At home, you need a properly programmed NOAA Weather Radio with a battery backup. On your phone, for warnings we recommend WeatherRadio by WDT. You can watch our live severe weather coverage on the free ABC 33/40 app. Here are the links…
ABC 33/40 iOS version for iPhones and iPads
ABC 33/40 Android version for Android phones and tablets
Review your action plan in case a tornado warning polygon includes your home. Get in a small room, on the lowest floor, away from windows, and near the center of the house. You do NOT have to be underground. Never be in a car or mobile home. Have helmets, hard sole shoes, and a portable air horn for everyone in the family.
More details shortly…
