...TORNADO WATCH UNTIL 5 PM CST...

A TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE WESTERN THIRD OF MIDDLE
TENNESSEE UNTIL 5 PM CST. A TORNADO WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE
FAVORABLE FOR TORNADOES AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. PERSONS IN THESE
AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS
AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS. THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE IN NASHVILLE IS MONITORING THIS SITUATION CLOSELY
AT THIS TIME.

REMEMBER YOUR TORNADO SAFETY RULES...

IN HOMES OR SMALL BUILDINGS, GO TO THE BASEMENT OR TO AN INTERIOR
ROOM, SUCH AS A CLOSET OR BATHROOM, ON THE LOWEST LEVEL. GET UNDER
SOMETHING STURDY SUCH AS A HEAVY TABLE OR A BED.

IN MOBILE HOMES AND VEHICLES, ABANDON THEM AND GO TO A STURDY
STRUCTURE.  IF THERE IS NO SUCH STRUCTURE NEARBY, LIE FLAT IN A
DITCH, RAVINE, GULLY, CULVERT OR LOW SPOT WITH YOUR ARMS AND HANDS
SHIELDING YOUR HEAD.

IN LARGE BUILDINGS, SUCH AS SCHOOLS, FACTORIES, HOSPITALS, NURSING
HOMES AND SHOPPING CENTERS, GO TO THE PREDESIGNATED SHELTER AREA.
INTERIOR HALLWAYS ON THE LOWEST FLOOR ARE USUALLY BEST,  STAY AWAY
FROM ROOMS THAT ARE LARGE IN AREA BECAUSE THEY HAVE WEAKLY SUPPORTED
ROOFS.

IN HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS, GO TO AN INTERIOR SMALL ROOM OR HALLWAY.

STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS.  DON'T BOTHER OPENING OR CLOSING THEM.  IT
WON'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO THE STRUCTURE AND YOU WILL JUST WASTE
TIME, OR PUT YOURSELF AT RISK SHOULD THE GLASS BREAK.
