Questions people ask
What is the difference between a tornado watch and a warning?
A watch means tornadoes are possible: be ready. A warning means one has been seen or detected on radar: take shelter now. Source: US National Weather Service.
Should I open the windows?
No. It does not help, and it wastes time you need to take shelter. Source: US National Weather Service.
Is an overpass a good shelter?
No. Wind speeds up under it and carries debris. Source: Ready.gov (FEMA).
