The safest place to be during a tornado is in a basement. If in a
Mobile home... evacuate to a substantial structure. Get under a
workbench or other piece of sturdy furniture. If no basement is
available... seek shelter on the lowest floor of the building in an
interior hallway or room such as a closet. Use blankets or pillows to
cover your body and always stay away from windows.
Heavy rainfall may obscure this tornado. Take cover now! If you wait
to see or hear it coming... it may be too late to get to a safe place.
Tornadoes at night are especially dangerous. Do not wait until you
see or hear the tornado... it may be too late. Take cover now!
A Tornado Watch remains in effect until 400 am CDT Saturday morning
