Mike, an executive at Iowa City, was working in his office. It was half past five on a Friday. Everybody had already left for home. He heard a loud roar. He accessed the internet and googled for the current weather conditions. There was a tornado warning for his county. Hurriedly, he took shelter.

Be aware of the current weather conditions: 

  • Listen to television newscasts, local radio or NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration) weather radio.
  • Check online sources

Be aware of any danger signs:

  • Dark usually greenish sky
  • Large hail
  • Dark, large funnel-shaped cloud
  • Loud roar like that of a freight train

The best bet is to seek shelter immediately as Mike did!!


Always seek shelter immediately
