One threat not often thought about during hurricane season is that of tornadoes. If a tornado warning is issued for your area, make sure you are staying safe by following these tips:
- Seek shelter immediately
- Avoid seeking shelter in rooms with windows
- Don’t try to outrun a tornado if you’re driving and avoid overpasses
- Listen for weather updates from local officials and trusted sources like the US National Weather Service Houston-Galveston Texas
