At 2:49 p.m., National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado 16 miles southeast of Willow Street moving southeast at 5 mph.
When a tornado warning is issued based on doppler radar, it means that strong rotation has been detected in the storm. A tornado may already be on the ground or is expected to develop shortly.
The safest place to be during a tornado is in a basement. Get under a workbench or other piece of sturdy furniture. If no basement is available, take shelter on the lowest floor of the building in an interior hallway or room such as a closet. Use blankets or pillows to cover your body and always stay away from windows.
If in a mobile home or vehicle, leave it and get inside a strong building. If no shelter is available, lie flat in the nearest ditch or other low spot and cover your head with your hands.
