cumulonimbus clounds



Extremely high winds tear homes and businesses apart. Winds can also destroy bridges, flip trains, send cars and trucks flying, tear the bark off trees, and suck all the water from a riverbed. High winds sometimes kill or injure people by rolling them along the ground or dropping them from dangerous heights.

How to prepare for a Tornado

Go to the basement or an inside room without windows on the lowest floor (bathroom, closet, center hallway). If possible, avoid sheltering in any room with windows. For added protection get under something sturdy (a heavy table or workbench). Cover your body with a blanket, sleeping bag or mattress. Get food because it might be in there for some time.

Duck and Cover position at school
Vaya al sótano o a una habitación interior sin ventanas en el piso más bajo (baño, armario, pasillo central). Si es posible, evite refugiarse en cualquier habitación con ventanas. Para mayor protección, colóquese debajo de algo resistente (una mesa pesada o un banco de trabajo). Cubre tu cuerpo con una manta, saco de dormir o colchón.
