About Tornados
Thunderstorms develop in warm, moist air in advance of eastward-moving cold fronts. These thunderstorms often produce large hail, strong winds, and tornadoes. Tornadoes in the winter and early spring are often associated with strong, frontal systems that form in the Central States and move east. Occasionally, large outbreaks of tornadoes occur with this type of weather pattern.
During the spring in the Central Plains, thunderstorms frequently develop along a "dryline," which separates very warm, moist air to the east from hot, dry air to the west. Tornado-producing thunderstorms may form as the dryline moves east during the afternoon hours.
Along the front range of the Rocky Mountains, in the Texas panhandle, and in the southern High Plains, thunderstorms frequently form as air near the ground flows "upslope" toward higher terrain. If other favorable conditions exist, these thunderstorms can produce tornadoes.
NOAA WEATHER RADIO IS THE BEST MEANS TO RECEIVE WARNINGS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
What To Listen For...
* TORNADO WATCH: Tornadoes are possible in your area. Remain alert for approaching storms.
* TORNADO WARNING: A tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. If a tornado warning is issued for your area and the sky becomes threatening, move to your pre-designated place of safety.
# SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH: Severe thunderstorms are possible in your area.
# SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING: Severe thunderstorms are occurring.
Remember
Tornadoes occasionally develop in areas in which a severe thunderstorm watch or warning is in effect. Remain alert to signs of an approaching tornado and seek shelter if threatening conditions exist.
Environmental Clues To Look For
* Dark, often greenish sky
* Wall cloud
* Large hail
* Loud roar; similar to a freight train
Advance Warning
Occasionally, tornadoes develop so rapidly that advance warning is not possible. Remain alert for signs of an approaching tornado. Flying debris from tornadoes causes most deaths and injuries.
What To Do If a Warning is Issued
* In a home or building, move to a pre-designated shelter, such as a basement.
* If an underground shelter is not available, move to an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor and get under a sturdy piece of furniture.
* Stay away from windows.
* Get out of automobiles.
* Do not try to outrun a tornado in your car; instead, leave it immediately.
* Mobile homes, even if tied down, offer little protection from tornadoes and should be abandoned.

Amazing video. I've been through tornadoes, or at least nearby tornadoes. That green sky is certainly a warning. I'm one state over and one down from you, and that's close enough to Kansas tornadoes for me, thank you very much. Informative lens! Posted June 26, 2008 |
