You're at home, and a Tornado Warning is issued. Where do you go? What do you do?

First and foremost, have a plan of what to do and where to go before a storm threatens.

You will want to go down and inside in your home. 

What You Need To Know 

Have a plan of what to do and where to go before a storm threatens 

Put as many walls between you and the storm as possible 

Make sure your safe area has no windows 

Basements are the best place to go during a tornado, but many of us don't have one.

Go to the lowest level of your home where winds are not as strong. The higher up you go on a structure, the higher the winds. Friction with objects close to the ground, and the ground itself, can reduce the winds of a storm.

Put as many walls between you and the storm as possible. The idea here is that if your home is hit by debris, it will slow or stop as it hits these walls.
Windows and doors need to be closed. Basically, you don't want to let the storm inside your home. 

Make sure your safe area has no windows. If a window breaks, you've got flying glass, which could cause injuries. 

Your safe area should be the center most room of your home, with multiple walls between you and the storm on the lowest level. A center bathroom with a bathtub can give you even more protection during a storm. Throw a blanket or light mattress over the tub for even greater protection.

Have a way to watch or listen to severe weather coverage so you'll know when it's safe to come out of your shelter area. Turn up the volume on your TV or have our Spectrum News app on your phone so you can watch live storm coverage.

Again, always know what to do and where to go long before any warning is issued for your area.

Just like when you're at home and a Tornado Warning is issued, you want to go down and inside.

You want to put as many walls between you and the storm.

Many work places have a lot of windows, so it's even more important to find a safe area away from glass.

Look for an interior room or office to use as your safe or shelter area.

Like your home, many work places have bathrooms in center locations within their buildings.

And as always, have your plan in place before severe weather threatens your area.

Know where to go and what to do long before a warning is issued.
