Preparing For Severe Weather in Winchester TN

Most of us have lived in Tennessee for a while.  And we're aware of the Winchester TN Weather and what it could bring.  For those of you who are newer here are a few tidbits to consider (this data taken from Ready.gov)

• Notifications: 

  • Make sure you two ways to get information about severe weather.  Having a weather radio along with either watching the news or seeing things online is helpful.  Also a wake-me-up application is helpful as well such as StormWatch.
    
    
    

• Tornado Watch vs Warning:  

  • Know the difference between a Tornado Watch vs Tornado Warning.  A Tornado Warning means immediately take shelter since a Tornado was either reported or indicated on weather radar.  A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for weather that can create tornados (severe storms).
    
    
    

• If There is a Tornado Warning 

  • Immediately go to a safe shelter, such as a safe room, basement, storm cellar or a small interior room on the lowest level of a sturdy building.  Stay away from windows, doors, outside walls. 
    
    
  • Use your arms to protect your head and neck.
    
    
    

• Preparing for Severe Weather (and a tornado)

  • Make sure you have shoes, money, cell phone charger and cell phone by your safe shelter area.  Shoes are important as there will be sharp objects on the ground after a tornado hits.
    
    
  • Know your area's tornado risk
    
    
  • Be aware of incoming weather, and the forecasts.  (pay attention to weather reports)
