Tornado Safety (Online Tornado FAQ) - 0 views

www.spc.noaa.gov/...safety.html tornado safety
shared by Candy Bacon Toy Thieves on 26 Aug 14 - Cached
  • Know the signs of a tornado: Weather forecasting science is not perfect and some tornadoes do occur without a tornado warning. There is no substitute for staying alert to the sky. Besides an obviously visible tornado, here are some things to look and listen for: Strong, persistent rotation in the cloud base. Whirling dust or debris on the ground under a cloud base -- tornadoes sometimes have no funnel! Hail or heavy rain followed by either dead calm or a fast, intense wind shift. Many tornadoes are wrapped in heavy precipitation and can't be seen. Day or night - Loud, continuous roar or rumble, which doesn't fade in a few seconds like thunder. Night - Small, bright, blue-green to white flashes at ground level near a thunderstorm (as opposed to silvery lightning up in the clouds). These mean power lines are being snapped by very strong wind, maybe a tornado. Night - Persistent lowering from the cloud base, illuminated or silhouetted by lightning -- especially if it is on the ground or there is a blue-green-white power flash underneath.
  • In a house with no basement, a dorm, or an apartment:

  • Avoid windows. Go to the lowest floor, small center room (like a bathroom or closet), under a stairwell, or in an interior hallway with no windows. Crouch as low as possible to the floor, facing down; and cover your head with your hands.
  • In a car or truck: Vehicles are extremely risky in a tornado. There is no safe option when caught in a tornado in a car, just slightly less-dangerous ones. If the tornado is visible, far away, and the traffic is light, you may be able to drive out of its path by moving at right angles to the tornado.
  • AFTER THE TORNADO... Keep your family together and wait for emergency personnel to arrive. Carefully render aid to those who are injured. Stay away from power lines and puddles with wires in them; they may still be carrying electricity! Watch your step to avoid broken glass, nails, and other sharp objects. Stay out of any heavily damaged houses or buildings; they could collapse at any time. Do not use matches or lighters, in case of leaking natural gas pipes or fuel tanks nearby. Remain calm and alert, and listen for information and instructions from emergency crews or local officials.

Five Life-Threatening Tornado Safety Myths Debunked - 0 views

shared by Candy Bacon Toy Thieves on 26 Aug 14 - No Cached
  • 1. When there is a tornado warning, would opening the windows to equalize the pressure save a home from further destruction?
  • "It's not about the pressure in your house; it's the winds that will ultimately be the cause of further destruction. The winds are going to bring debris from miles around, and if you open the windows, that will bring it right into your living room,"
  • 2. Does seeking shelter under a highway overpass protect you from a tornado?
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Winds actually can be funneled and strengthened under overpasses, similarly to opening your windows in your house. Winds are what you want to avoid," Carbin said.
  • All targets are equal, but depending on where certain cities are on the map, they might not be as prone to tornadoes like Chicago or New York City
  • There is no direct correlation that a green tint in the sky means a tornado.
  • 3. Is a green sky an indicator that a tornado is coming?
  • 4. Do tornadoes not strike big cities?
  • 5. Is the southwest corner of my house the safest place to take cover?
  • this myth comes from the thought that tornadoes typically, but not always, move in a southwest to northeast direction and people may feel they are at less risk if they are in the approaching corner, but that's incorrect
  • The best place to protect yourself is in a low place with a reinforced structure above your head. If you're fortunate enough to have a basement in your home or a safe room, those are good options as well.
