Remain alert for a possible tornado! Tornadoes can develop quickly from severe thunderstorms. If you spot a tornado go at once into the basement or small central room in a sturdy structure.

Move indoors immediately. Remember, if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning.
