Tips and warnings Leave a radio with batteries near your safe place in case of power

outages, so you may be aware of more severe weather approaching. A NOAA Weather Radio will have more often updates than your local

radio station. Download weather radar software, such as Weather Bug, to have

instant access to Doppler radar on your computer. Cell phones often have this available, as well.

Tornados often form as a result of a Tropical Storm or Hurricane, most frequently in the north east quadrant of the storm.

Tornados often strike at night, when you cannot see them. At this point, you will have to rely on Doppler radar, weather alerts, and listening for the sounds of a tornado.

What to look for if there is going to be a tornado A sickly greenish or greenish black color to the sky. If there is a watch or warning posted, then the fall of hail should be

considered as a real danger sign. Hail can be common in some areas, however, and usually has no tornadic activity along with it.

A strange quiet that occurs within or shortly after the thunderstorm. Clouds moving by very fast, especially in a rotating pattern or

converging toward one area of the sky. A sound a little like a waterfall or rushing air at first, but turning into

a roar as it comes closer. The sound of a tornado has been likened to that of both railroad trains and jets.

Debris dropping from the sky. An obvious "funnel-shaped" cloud that is rotating, or debris such as

branches or leaves being pulled upwards, even if there is mo funnel cloud is visible.
