You contact your local National Weather Service offices. Visit the national weather service website and click on you location on the map of the U.S. This should lead you to your areas NWS office. From there there should be a place where you can submit storm reports.

What are most tornado warnings' information based on?

Most tornado warnings are usually based on data from Doppler radar, which can indicate a strong mesocyclone or even the signature of a tornado itself, and on reports from spotters, who may report if a tornado is forming or already on the ground.


What instrument do you use to check if there is a tornado?

Doppler Radar can detect the signature of a tornado's rotation in a storm, but we usually need an eyewitness report to confirm that the tornado has actually touched down. Dual polarized Doppler radar can detect debris from a tornado, but that requires that the tornado is fairly strong and that there is enough debris for the tornado to pick up.

How can meteorologists know a tornado is coming?

The main tool meteorologists use is Doppler radar, which can detect a tornado or the rotation in a storm that can produce them. There are also spotters, who report sightings of tornadoes and other weather hazards.
