The East Coast Severe Weather Threat is Over
Midnight: The East Coast Threat for Tornadoes and Severe Thunderstorms Has Ended 3:50pm. Tornado watch for the Middle Atlantic Region. 2:30pm Tornadoes are also forecast in the South. 2:20pm. A couple of tornadoes, hail and wind gusts to 65 mph are possible with these storms. This includes NYC and Philadelphia. 1:05pm. The tornado risk has been extended northward into New York. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes. If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub. I'll update later today.
Why crack a window???
ReplyDeleteCrack the window on the side your siren is on so you can better hear it. At least that’s what I think it means!!
DeleteTo try and equalize the air pressure so home won't explode when low pressure tornado hits. Don't think it helps much. Do don't depend on a siren; listen to local radio/tv.
DeleteYou aren't supposed to crack the window. They have found long ago that is how your house will explode. Also you shouldn't be using outdoor sirens to warn you, those are for people that are stuck outside. Everyone that lives in a tornado prone area should have a NOAA weather radio and a cell phone app.
DeleteIt is exactly that! To keep ur house from exploding! And sirens arent the first defense but theyre to notify ppl that maybe dont have tvs or are outside.. things like that. We had a tornado about 4 yrs ago here in Albertville and the siren went off afterrr the tornado had hit! Everyone needs a noaa radio! Plain and simple
DeleteSo that you can hear the tornado siren!
ReplyDeleteNo, you should never, ever depend on outside sirens while you are in your home. The outside sirens are for people that are outside when a tornado comes.
DeleteThese New Age Folk,in school is where I was taught to OPEN All windows, So the wind could possibly go thru
