What to Do If a Tornado Hits at Night

American Red Cross Short 2 months ago

Description

Nighttime tornadoes are among the most dangerous because they strike while people are asleep and visibility is low. If a tornado warning is issued:

1) Make sure everyone in your home is awake.
2) Get to the lowest level of your home or a small, interior room away from windows.
4) Protect your head with your hands or something like a pillow or helmet.

If you don't already, make sure tornado alerts are enabled on your phone. This will ensure your phone's siren will go off when a tornado warning happens and you'll have time to seek shelter.
