When is the season there? Are there sirens? How much time is usually given & what are the first signs? Is there really a green sky?

the season is usually spring (may and june are usually the most time around). there are lots of sirens. usually once it is a warning they send out the sirens. the sky can change a bit of color. but do not worry. not lately has there been any HUGE tornadoes recently.

ok so hes movin 2 kc
well their isnt any tornado usally that pass here maybe 0 in 6 years still anyways
if a tornado warning is posted u will here the sirens plus an annoying person will come on the radio saying the a tornado warning in KC. season is usally april till october. their are sirens and its gives u probabily 20 minutes of getting ready cause weaher men are really cool and good at weather. first sings of tornado is blackness in skys. if the sky is very black with frequent thuder and no rain but wind that a good sign. also if a tornado watch as been posted than u need 2 be on a lookout for them. their is a green sky and that indacates their is a tornado on the ground. if the winds start calming down or stop when a tornado warning is posted than dont move cause this would be the eye of tornado. so anyways just watch the weather and a news station KCTV5 will keep u informed and will be their for weather coverage in ur area.

First, tornadoes are pretty rare.
Generally, the season can be from late March/April through June, with possibly another short season in the fall. Look at the animation from the NSSL site.
Yes, there are sirens. Radio and TV are also well practiced at relaying information about the weather situation at hand. If there's a serious situation at hand, it will be warned on by the National Weather Service and information will be relayed through commercial TV and radio as well as NOAA Weather Radio.
There might not be any warning given given due to the erratic behavior of tornadoes and weather in general. Or, there might be 10-20 minutes of warning.
The first signs? Well, it's important to note that tornadoes are found on the rear of a thunderstorm and not the front side (which tends to look pretty scary but usually just pack high winds).
If you are driving around and you find yourself into a bad thunderstorm, turn on the radio (especially to a news/talk type of a station). If you find yourself in a similar situation at home, do the same or turn the TV on to a local station or turn on a NOAA Weather Radio. If there's something serious happening, it'll be covered.
My last pieces of advice...do not stop your vehicle under an overpass to use it as a storm shelter!! And read through the links that I've provided.

The season usually starts in the early spring but with the heat we have had it's hard to tell. There are sirens that got off ususally once the "tornado warning" has been issued by the national weather service. Have him plan a route where he can be near several towns for safety.

Read and follow local advise published by State Agencies and NOAA. Talk to your new neighbours. Have an emergency plan.

Just tell your Son not to date any females with the first name of "Dorthy"..and if she starts to click her heels together tell him to wake up or stop buying drugs from strangers.
