What to do before a tornado.

During:

If you are under a tornado warning, seek shelter immediately! Most injuries associated with high winds are from flying debris, so remember to protect your head.

If you are in a structure, go to a pre-designated shelter area such as a safe room, basement, storm cellar, or the lowest building level. If there is no basement, go to the center of an interior room on the lowest level (closet, interior hallway) away from corners, windows, doors, and outside walls.

If you are in a trailer or mobile home, get out immediately and go to the lowest floor of a sturdy, nearby building or a storm shelter.

If you are in the outside with no shelter, immediately get into a vehicle, buckle your seat belt and try to drive to the closest sturdy shelter. Do not get under an overpass or bridge. You are safer in a low, flat location. Watch out for flying debris. Flying debris from tornadoes causes most fatalities and injuries.

What is a Tornado Watch?

WatchWarning

This is issued by the National Weather Service when conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes in and close to the watch area. Their size can vary depending on the weather situation. They are usually issued for a duration of 4 to 8 hours. They normally are issued well in advance of the actual occurrence of severe weather. During the watch, people should review tornado safety rules and be prepared to move a place of safety if threatening weather approaches. A Tornado Watch is issued by the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) in Norman, Oklahoma. Prior to the issuance of a Tornado Watch, SPC will usually contact the affected local National Weather Forecast Office (NWFO) and they will discuss what their current thinking is on the weather situation. Afterwards, SPC will issue a preliminary Tornado Watch and then the affected NWFO will then adjust the watch (adding or eliminating counties/parishes) and then issue it to the public. After adjusting the watch, the NWFO will let the public know which counties are included by way of a Watch Redefining Statement. During the watch, the NWFO will keep the public informed on what is happening in the watch area and also let the public know when the watch has expired or been cancelled. Source: weather.gov

GHOST STORY

BY JOHN REYNOLDS

SPECIAL TO CNBNEWS.NET

\”They must be ghosts,\” thought college classics professor Philip Roth, wondering where the MIA students were who have yet to appear in his Greek Tragedy class five weeks into the semester. \”What are they, spooks?\”, he asked his class. It turns out they weren\’t apparitions, but a couple of black students, fast-tracked through college thinking they were entitled to no-show degrees guaranteed by government quotas. Being Roth is Jewish, and the missing students black, all hell broke loose on campus.
$\"Unknown\"$

\”Spooks\” acquired a new meaning at some point along its etymological development, and Roth was accused of being a racist. His colleagues scapegoated him on the altar of political correctness, afraid to speak out and put their careers in jeopardy. It turns out Roth wasn\’t Jewish, or even white, but black. Though his father had the traditional Negro look, his mother was a fair-skinned mix of white, black, and Indian.
