Local Tornado Warnings



Here is a video of tornado watchers driving down main street in Weatherford, Oklahoma with tornado sirens going off. The sirens indicate that a tornado is expected in the area and to get to shelter. A tornado watch is issued when it is possible that a tornado could form. A tornado warning is issued when a tornado has actually been spotted or picked up on radar. When you hear a siren like this you should seek immediate shelter. Tornadoes are unpredictable; they change directions at will. It was fortunate that no major damage hit Weatherford as 2010 was a pretty dangerous tornado season.
