An updated tornado warning was issued by the National Weather Service for Pike County on Saturday night, alerting residents of a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado near Troy. The warning urged people to seek shelter in a sturdy building and avoid windows to protect themselves from flying debris.
Understanding the difference between a Tornado watch and a Tornado warning is crucial during tornado season. A Tornado watch signifies that conditions are favorable for a tornado to form, while a Tornado warning means that a tornado has been spotted, requiring immediate action to seek shelter.
To prepare for a tornado, residents are advised to stay informed about weather forecasts, sign up for alerts, establish a communication plan, choose a secure shelter, practice emergency drills, and encourage neighbors to prepare as well.
When a tornado strikes, it is essential to stay informed, seek shelter in a designated safe room or basement, follow tornado drill procedures at work or school, avoid being outdoors or in a vehicle, and act promptly to ensure your safety.
