Howard County Gov't@HoCoGov
WEATHER ALERT: @NWS_BaltWash has issued a TORNADO WATCH for #HoCoMD, in effect til 8 pm, 3/11.
To prepare, make sure you know the signs of a tornado, including a rotating, funnel-shaped cloud, an approaching cloud of debris, or a loud roar - similar to a freight train. If you see a tornado, take shelter immediately! Go to a safe room, basement or storm cellar. If you are in a building w/ no basement, then go to a small interior room on the lowest level. Stay away from windows, doors, & outside walls. Take additional cover by shielding your head & neck w/ your arms & putting materials such as furniture & blankets around you.
