Doppler radar scans storms for rotation in thunderstorms, which indicates that a tornado is occurring or that one may soon develop. Eyewitnesses can relay reports of rotation, funnel clouds, and tornadoes on the ground. If reports indicate that a tornado has formed or is likely to form then officials issue a tornado warning. Information on the storm is broadcast online and through television and radio. Sirens may sound in some areas.
