Full Notification

A Tornado Watch, Flood Watch, and Wind Advisory are in effect for Hunterdon County Today

If a TORNADO WARNING is issued:

• Go to a safe shelter immediately, such as a safe room, basement, storm cellar or a small interior room on the lowest level of a sturdy building.
• Stay away from windows, doors, and outside walls.
• Do not go under an overpass or bridge. You’re safer in a low, flat location.
• Watch out for flying debris that can cause injury or death.
• Use your arms to protect your head and neck.

• There is no safe option when caught in a tornado in a car, just slightly less-dangerous ones.
• If the tornado is visible, far away, and the traffic is light, you may be able to drive out of its path by moving at right angles to the tornado.
• If you are caught by extreme winds or flying debris, park the car as quickly and safely as possible -- out of the traffic lanes.
• Stay in the car with the seat belt on. Put your head down below the windows; cover your head with your hands and a blanket, coat, or other cushion if possible.
• If you can safely get noticeably lower than the level of the roadway, leave your car and lie in that area, covering your head with your hands.
• Avoid seeking shelter under bridges, which can create deadly traffic hazards while offering little protection against flying debris.
