If you ever see a big black cloud with a funnel-like extension beneath it, watch out! It could be a tornado.
When a Tornado Watch is issued, keep your eye on the sky for signs of a possible Tornado and watch KLTV for up to date information. When a Tornado Warning is issued, act fast to protect yourself!
What to do if...
Remember when a tornado is coming, you only have a short amount of time to make life-or-death decisions. Advance planning and quick responses are the keys to surviving a tornado.
Here is a list of supplies you should have for a disaster kit:
- Flashlight and extra batteries
- Portable, battery-operated radio and extra batteries
- First aid kit and manual
- Emergency food and water
- Non-electric can opener
- Essential medicines
- Cash and credit cards
- Sturdy shoes
