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

A TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE WESTERN THIRD OF MIDDLE
TENNESSEE UNTIL 5 PM CST.

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.

THANK YOU FOR TAKING A FEW MOMENTS OUT OF YOUR BUSY DAY TO PARTICIPATE
IN THIS TORNADO DRILL.
