Where to check now

- Local news outlets and apps (e.g., WX/ABC/CBS/NBC affiliates) often have up-to-the-minute alerts for your county or town.
-
Immediate safety steps if a tornado warning is issued
- If you’re indoors, go to the lowest level of your building, interior room with no windows (like a interior closet or bathroom), and put as many walls between you and the outside as possible.
- Cover yourself with a sturdy object or blanket to protect from debris; stay away from windows.
- If you’re in a mobile home, seek sturdier shelter immediately or evacuate to a designated tornado shelter or sturdy building if possible.
- Keep your phone charged and have a battery-powered weather radio or NOAA alert app on hand for loud warnings.
