If you see a funnel cloud, take cover immediately! The funnel cloud itself means that there is already an imminent threat of a tornado touching down. The tornado may already be on the ground, as violent winds may have reached the surface even if the visible funnel hasn't. Generally, you should not rely on looking out the window, as the tornado may be obscured by rain or blocked from view by objects between you and it. It is dangerous to be near a window during a potentially tornadic storm, as the thin pane of glass offers little to no protection, and broken glass can cause serious injuries. It is best to pay attention to weather waring issued by the National Weather Service. Keep a battery powered weather radio handy and pay attention to any severe weather alerts issued for your area.
