Hey NYC: a Tornado Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service. It’s in effect until at least 9 PM tonight for all five boroughs. Let's talk about what that means and how to stay safe! 👇 What's a tornado? 🌪️ It's a violently spinning column of air stretching from a thunderstorm down to the ground, capable of intense winds and flying debris. Tornadoes are genuinely rare in NYC, but today the atmospheric ingredients are there for one to form, which is why we've got a watch. Worth taking seriously. Watch vs. Warning: 🔹 A Watch (what we have now) means conditions are favorable for tornadoes. Time to prepare! 🔹 A Warning means one's been spotted or picked up on radar. Act immediately. What should you do? ✅ ➡️ Stay alert and keep an eye on the sky ➡️Subscribe to @NotifyNYC by visiting nyc.gov/notify. Make sure your phone's emergency alerts are on 📱 ➡️Know your safe spot: an interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows ➡️If a Warning is issued, get there right away ➡️ Bring your people and pets with you! 🐾 Tornadoes here are uncommon, so no need to panic, but a little prep goes a long way. Stay safe, NYC! 💙⛈️ More tips on staying safe during a Thunderstorm or Tornado: nyc.gov/beready
