SEVERE WEATHER SAFETY
March and April are the peak severe weather season for north Georgia, so it’s important to have a severe weather safety plan.
First, make sure you have multiple ways to get tornado watch or tornado warning alerts. Download the free WSB-TV Weather App for alerts sent straight to your phone when a tornado watch or tornado warning is issued.
Severe Weather Team 2 will come on the air immediately when a tornado warning is issued and stay on the air until the threat is over.
Know your county and be able to identify it on a map. Weather warnings include county names, and our maps have county outlines. Severe Weather Team 2 will get hyper-local tracking any tornadoes, but knowing counties helps.
Familiarize yourself with where your county is, but also make sure you know the counties that surround yours as well.
If a tornado warning is issued, know the safest place to be.
Move to an interior room on the lowest level of your home such as basement, closet or bathroom. Stay away from windows and exterior walls. If you are in a mobile home or outside, get to the closest shelter and protect yourself from debris.
If a shelter isn’t available, stay in a low-lying area such as a ditch. But do not get under an overpass or bridge.
