6/18/2018 (Permalink)

Tornadoes are extremely dangerous, and should not be taken lightly. In 2017, Iowa had 55 Tornadoes resulting in 6 injuries. To reduce your chance of being one of those 6 people in 2018, here are some helpful tips. The first thing you need to do is be alert and aware of the weather. If its thunder storming and very windy out, you should take shelter indoors and turn on the news for weather alerts. The news is a good source to find out if there is a tornado watch or warning. When there is a tornado watch, you should be looking out for tornadoes in your area. When there is a tornado warning, you should immediately go to your safe room, a basement, or room with no windows. If you are unable to take shelter, go to a low point outside like a ditch. For more information on tornadoes click here
