What action do you take when a tornado nears? Put yourself in the safest place you can. If you are in any of the locations in red, seek better shelter. Find an interior room or basement in a well constructed home or business. A tornado shelter would be even safer.

If a tornado warning is issued while you are in your vehicle, your best plan of action is to drive to the closest available sturdy structure and shelter in a basement or interior room. DO NOT seek shelter under an overpass or near a tree.
