Answer 1

Well, they are the experts. You should probably take cover.

Answer 2

All the Other Answers are Correct. Here's a Suggestion, go to Radio Shack and get a Weather Alert Radio with F.I.P.S. and S.A.M.E. They'll Explain it. That'll let You Know in Advance when a Twister, or any bad Weather is Headed Your Way, Automatically, with a minimum of False Alerts. And, until then, it's Silent, unless You want to Switch it on to Hear what the Weather Forecast is going to be. It has to be Programmed for Your Area, and it'll Work during a Power Outage too. Most People are Killed Late at Night by Tornadoes, when they're not Awake, and Alert. This could very well save Your Life. The Radio is less than $100 and the Service is Free.Once You hear a Weather Alert, if You can, go On Line, and Enter www.weather.com for the Weather Channel, and Enter Your Zip Code, then, when the Map comes up for Your Area, Click on the "Show Map In Motion" and when the Next map comes up, You'll see how the Storm is Moving, and You will then be the WeatherWoman, able to tell just as good as anyone else if a bad Storm is coming Directly Toward You, or just Close By. <*> Also, I like Your Avatar !

Answer 3

there are three levels for tornados....'

Tornado WATCH: The situations are right for tornados to develope. None spotted yet,

Tornado Reported; A tornado has been reported from a reputable source - locations are usually given.

Tornado Warning: Once a tornado is reported, the cell is watched via doppler radar and meterologists can extrapollate where the tornado is most likely to move. If you are in the path, it's best to seek shelter.

Answer 4

Being a weather reporter is the only job I know of that you get paid very well for being wrong most of the time. Best to just look outside.

Answer 5

That is a warning I would not want to ignore. Even though it may be hard to predict exactly when and where it will touch down they are very good at seeing that one is forming over a certain area

Answer 6

I only trust the weatherperson sometimes. They seem to be more in error more than they should be. But if there is a tornado warning, certainly be sensible about it and prepare yourself-- otherwise, who else would you turn to for advance notice, besides weatherpeople?

Bottom line: heed precautions, and take them seriously.

Answer 7

As likely as when they tell us in FL that we have a hurricane coming and it turns out to be nothing. We have lots of food & ice, though. Ready for a party!

Answer 8

Tornado warnings are not meant to take them lightly
