Crisis under a tornado
Tornadoes form when warm, moist air near the ground meets cold, dry air above, creating an unstable atmosphere. Strong winds at different elevations can cause horizontal rotation, leading to tornadoes. Seek shelter immediately when in their path, preferably in a basement or storm cellar. If not possible, find a small interior room or hallway without windows. If caught outside, lie flat in a low-lying area like a ditch, covering your head with your hands. Pay close attention to weather alerts to stay informed of potential tornado threats in your area. Being prepared and knowing what to do during a tornado can save your life.
