If you spot a tornado go at once into the\nbasement or small central room in a sturdy structure.\n\nFor your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a\nbuilding.\n\nIntense thunderstorm lines can produce brief tornadoes and widespread\nsignificant wind damage. Although a tornado is not immediately\nlikely, it is best to move to an interior room on the lowest floor of\na building. These storms may cause serious injury and significant\nproperty damage.\n\nTorrential rainfall is occurring with these storms, and may lead to\nflash flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways.",
