F5 Hesston tornado, March 13, 1990 |
March 2nd-6th is a week set aside to allow us an opportunity to review and practice what we probably already know when it comes to safety. And even though it may seem redundant to have this designated week every year, I don't think you can ever be too prepared for what may show up later this spring. The statewide tornado drill will take place on Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. (assuming the weather is clear and quiet that day)
Monday's topic: Severe weather preparedness
Tuesday's topic: Tornado hazards
Wednesday's topic: Flash flood hazards
Thursday's topic: Severe thunderstorm hazards
Friday's topic: Forms of warning reception
We are working hard to put together some special pieces that you'll see on the air next week (at 6 p.m.) and you'll also see a lot of facts and safety information on Facebook. We don't know exactly how bad the severe weather season will be yet. Truthfully, no matter what prediction we make for the upcoming season, if your house or car gets hit by one big hailstorm or tornado, you'd likely declare it a bad season.
