Proactive Tornado Safety During Hurricane Season

During hurricane season, the risk of tornadoes increases, especially in areas adjacent to the storm's path. Understanding tornado safety is crucial to ensure your protection.

Understanding the Risk

Tornadoes can form within hurricanes, adding to the storm's destructive power. They are most likely to occur in the right-front quadrant of the hurricane relative to its motion and can develop days after landfall when the storm's remnants maintain a low-pressure circulation.

Recognizing Tornado Threats

Tornadoes associated with hurricanes are often less intense than those in "tornado alley," but they can still cause significant damage. They typically occur in the right-front quadrant of the hurricane relative to its motion and can develop days after landfall when the storm's remnants maintain a low-pressure circulation.

Safety Measures

• Seek Shelter Promptly: If a tornado warning is issued, move to the innermost part of the lowest level of your home, such as a basement or interior room without windows. (prod-01-alb-www-noaa.woc.noaa.gov)

• Stay Informed: Monitor weather updates and heed local authorities' instructions.

• Avoid Vehicles: If caught outside, do not seek shelter under bridges or overpasses. Instead, lie flat in a low-lying area, covering your head with your hands. (prod-01-alb-www-noaa.woc.noaa.gov)
