PDS TORNADO WATCH WHAT IT MEANS: This type of tornado watch is issued when the National Weather Service deems a storm to be a “particularly dangerous situation” with the potential for multiple strong or violent tornadoes. Only a very small percentage of tornado watches nationwide have historically been classified as PDS tornado watches. WHAT TO DO: Go about your normal activities, but be more aware of the weather. Listen to the National Weather Service’s weather radio or local stations for further weather updates. TORNADO WARNING WHAT IT MEANS: A tornado has been spotted or intense low-level rotation has been indicated on weather radar or by a trained spotter. A tornado siren will likely be sounded, meaning the twister is close to the area. WHAT TO DO: Take cover immediately in an enclosed, windowless area on the lowest level of your home or office, or in a shelter, if possible. A vehicle is not a safe place in a storm. Go to the nearest building to seek shelter.
