After a weekend of severe weather that battered Oklahoma, leaving behind a trail of destruction, officials warned that more tornadoes could be on the way. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a tornado watch for much of the state, including Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Residents are urged to be prepared to take shelter if a tornado warning is issued.
The weekend storms brought high winds, hail, and heavy rain to Oklahoma, causing widespread damage. Several tornadoes were reported, including one that touched down near El Reno and caused significant damage to homes and businesses.
Safety Precautions
If a tornado warning is issued, residents should immediately take shelter in a sturdy building. The safest place to be is in a basement or storm cellar. If there is no basement or storm cellar, go to the lowest level of the building and find an interior room with no windows.
Once in shelter, stay away from windows and doors. Cover your head and body with blankets or pillows to protect yourself from flying debris.
Stay Informed
It is important to stay informed about the latest weather conditions. Monitor local news and weather reports for updates on the tornado watch. You can also sign up for weather alerts from the NWS.
