Tornadoes can happen any time of the year. Timing of the system can change but nighttime tornadoes are always more dangerous and require additional planning. The difference between a tornado watch and a tornado warning means the difference between taking action or taking precautions. 

Know your severe weather terminology.

During a TORNADO WATCH you want to be prepared because a tornado is possible. Which means that conditions are favorable for a tornado to occur. 

1. Check for forecast updates.

2. Monitor sky conditions.

3. Know where to take shelter.

During a TORNADO WARNING take action because a tornado is imminent! A warning means that a tornado has been seen or picked up by radar. A warning requires you to take shelter and brace for a potential tornado.

1. Take shelter immediately.

2. Seek further information.

3. Check for forecast updates.
