Deadliest Tornado Season In A Decade

This year has been one of the deadliest years on record for tornadoes in a decade the death toll has already reached 100 and it is still early in the season as well. Twenty two were killed this weekend alone.

In addition there were a few tornadoes that struck during February which is rare, but not unheard of, which kicked off the start of the season early. This was attributed to the mild winter and unseasonably warm weather across the country.

While I did make a number of posts earlier this year, I again think it is important to mention how important it is to be prepared and take appropriate action during severe weather, especially tornadoes.

Click the following link for more on Tornado Safety Here you can find a video on Severe Weather Safety and here is a small but excellent post on the Warning Signs of an approaching Tornado again with videos to watch.

One thing I will say here is please, please do not stay in your cars, and please seek shelter or a safe place if you are in an area where a tornado is approaching.
