A tornado warning is issued when radar data and eyewitness reports indicate a tornado has formed, is forming, or is likely to form soon. These warnings are then issued by the local office of the National Weather Service. The warning will contain information on the tornado's location, speed and direction of movement, and places in the potential path. This information is distributed through TV and radio stations as well as smart phone apps. In some places sirens may sound to alert people.
