Tornado Tips
|
Knowing how to react when a tornado is headed for your home, is the key to surviving, experts say.
If you're at home when a tornado hit, the National Weather Service says on average, you have about 13 minutes to get ready for a tornado.
In that short time....there are things you can do to protect yourself and family:
* If you have a basement ... Go there...
* If not.. a bathroom or closet without windows.
* If you have one.. grab a battery powered radio to monitor conditions tuned to 1310KZRG.
* If there's enough time, get your wallets, prescriptions, and keys together.
* Adults can put bicycle helmets and a good pair of shoes on their kids.
* One recommendation from weather experts is to put small children in a car seat if you can get it from the car.
* Pet owners should make sure animals have their collars and i-d tags on in case they become separated.
