Your doing fine Annie, all yours, I'm going to take off...we're under a moderate risk of severe weather again tomorrow so might get a little sleep tonight. G'night all.

[CrazyC83]

It definitely seems to be calming down. We sure dodged a few bullets, yet still some tragedies today

[Annie Oakley]

Your doing fine Annie, all yours, I'm going to take off...we're under a moderate risk of severe weather again tomorrow so might get a little sleep tonight. G'night all.

Goodnight Dave. Thanks for all you did. I hope this is just not the calm before....you know. Fingers crossed.

[CrazyC83]

High Risk for tomorrow? I wouldn't initially. Not enough confidence IMO, too much convection that could ruin the setup if it holds on. I'd stick with a Moderate Risk and wait and see.

What to Do During a Tornado

If you are under a tornado WARNING, seek shelter immediately!
If you are in: Then:
A structure (e.g. residence, small building, school, nursing home, hospital, factory, shopping center, high-rise building) Go to a pre-designated shelter area such as a safe room, basement, storm cellar, or the lowest building level. If there is no basement, go to the center of an interior room on the lowest level (closet, interior hallway) away from corners, windows, doors, and outside walls. Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside. Get under a sturdy table and use your arms to protect your head and neck. Do not open windows.
A vehicle, trailer, or mobile home Get out immediately and go to the lowest floor of a sturdy, nearby building or a storm shelter. Mobile homes, even if tied down, offer little protection from tornadoes.
The outside with no shelter Lie flat in a nearby ditch or depression and cover your head with your hands. Be aware of the potential for flooding.

Do not get under an overpass or bridge. You are safer in a low, flat location.

Never try to outrun a tornado in urban or congested areas in a car or truck. Instead, leave the vehicle immediately for safe shelter.

Watch out for flying debris. Flying debris from tornadoes causes most fatalities and injuries.
