Precautionary/preparedness actions...
If you are caught outside... seek shelter in a nearby reinforced building. As a last resort... seek shelter in a culvert... ditch or low spot and cover your head with your hands.
Heavy rainfall may obscure this tornado. Take cover now! If you wait to see or hear it coming... it may be too late to get to a safe place.
The safest place to be during a tornado is under a workbench or other piece of sturdy furniture. Seek shelter on the lowest floor of the building in an interior hallway or room such as a closet. Use blankets or pillows to cover your body and always stay away from windows.
