- Below are many warning signs of a tornado. Please watch for these signs, stay tuned to weather reports, and watch closely outside. Stay safe everyone.
- =====================================================================================================================
- If ANY of the following conditions are present you should immediately seek safe shelter.
- Know the difference between a tornado watch and a warning. A watch means tornadoes are possible in and near the watch area, the Red Cross reports. A warning means a tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. Take shelter immediately.
- =====================================================================================================================
- A sickly green or greenish black color in the approaching clouds or the clouds above.
- If you are under a current tornado watch, then falling hail should be considered a dangerous sign. Hail alone, in the absence of a tornado watch is fairly common and is not necessarily a sign of an approaching tornado.
- You notice a strange quiet immediately after a thunderstorm.
- You see fast-moving clouds, especially clouds that are rotating or appear to be converging towards one place in the sky.
- You hear a sound like a waterfall or rushing air that soon turns to a roar. This roar sound has been described as the sound of an oncoming locomotive or jet plane.
- You see debris dropping from the sky (especially papers and perhaps cancelled checks that are from an address a mile or more away.
- There is an obvious "funnel shaped" cloud that is rotating. The cloud may contain debris such as sticks, branches, or leaves being pulled upwards.
- Debris falling from the sky
- Night- Small, bright, blue-green to white flashes at ground level near a thunderstorm, opposed to lightning flashes or strikes. These mean power lines are being snapped by very strong wind, which may be a tornado
- Loud, continuous roar or rumble, which doesn't fade in a few seconds like thunder. A tornado also may sound like a waterfall, trains, and jets
- Whirling dust or debris on the ground under a cloud base—this may indicate a tornado funnel that is still inside the cloud
- Wall clouds or an approaching cloud of debris
- Large hail often in the absence of rain
- Before a tornado strikes, the wind may die down and the air may become very still
- =====================================================================================================================
- There may be more, but make sure to watch for these signs, have a shelter, and stay safe!
