Today at 1:00pm they will be testing the Tornado Sirens throughout the State of Michigan.
To be ready for a tornado:
Know the difference: tornado watch means conditions exist for a tornado to develop; tornado warning means a tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar.
Know the signs of an approaching tornado: dark, often greenish sky; large hail; a large, dark low-lying cloud; and a loud roar, like a freight train.
Stay tuned to commercial radio or television broadcasts for news on changing weather conditions or approaching storms.
Develop an emergency preparedness kit with essential items such as a three-day water and food supply, a NOAA Weather Radio, important family documents, and items that satisfy unique family needs.
Identify a safe place in your home for household members and pets to gather during a tornado.
Make sure everyone understands the tornado warning system in your area.
