tornado warning
The National weather Service issues a tornado warning when a tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. The Kent Campus tornado sirens are activated when a tornado is sighted nearby. When a tornado warning is issued, or the siren sounds, persons should:
* Seek shelter immediately If indoors:
* Go to a pre-designated safe room, basement, storm cellar, or the lowest building level. If there is no basement, go to the center of an interior room on the lowest level (closet, interior hallway) * Stay away from corners, windows, doors, and outside walls * Put as many walls (and levels above) as possible between you and the outside * Get under a sturdy table and cover you neck and head with your arms * Do not open doors or windows
If in a vehicle:
* Get out immediately and go to the lowest floor of a sturdy building. If there is no nearby building still get out - remaining inside a vehicle during a tornado is extremely dangerous * Outrunning a tornado is advisable if in a rural and uncongested location - never try to outrun a tornado from an urban or congested location
If outside with no available shelter:
* Lie flat in a ditch or depression covering the head with hands and arms - beware of potential flooding * Do not get under a bridge or overpass - it is safer in a low, flat location * Watch out for flying debris in the funnel - any object as small as a piece of straw can become fatal when traveling at several hundred miles per hour Additional information on tornadoes is available on the following website:
