TORNADOES
Tornadoes form
when hot air and
cold air combine.
Causing winds to
form and a funnel
cloud to appear.

A tornado is not yet

a tornado until it
touches the
ground, until that
point, it is still a
funnel cloud.

HOW TORNADOES ARE MADE

SAFETY
 Whenever you are notified that a tornado has
been spotted or a funnel cloud is in the area,
always get to the nearest, safest place. What is
a safe place?

 1. If you are home; a basement or bathroom

 2. If you are driving; pull over and find the

nearest shelter where you can go to a
bathroom or a storage unit, pull over and
cover in a ditch.

 3. If you are not in either of these situations,

and can’t quite find out what you should do,
always find a heavy piece of metal, or sturdy
appliance that you can protect yourself from.
