Tornado warning
I was surprised when I turned on the news channel today. Last week was the Haiti-disaster that wiped out more than 100,000 people. Then I turn to hear the news and tornado warnings, not only for Oceanside, but also for Carlsbad, Fallbrook and San Diego. For a moment I think the world has begun to crumble? I did not really wake up in a panic attack, just a short time. Of course, is a tornado warning in San Diego is not something to change where I live, even though I only live 45 minutes away.
There was rain, a majority of the day here. I went shopping, and yes, I was almost soaking wet when I loaded the food in the house. This event has led me to a little research on how to protect myself actually occur, a tornado.
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air around, which is produced by a thunderstorm and touching the ground. Tornadoes can reach speeds of up to 250 miles per hour, destroying everything in its path. These include the lifting of the round roof and the replacement of diesel cars and trucks and a hundred feet away. Of course, the explosions are from this activity can lead to fires and other terrible injuries.
In the past tornadoes have damage of up to 50 miles long and one mil wide causes. People sit in cars and mobile homes are potentially at greater risk. And the sad fact that no one is safe from the violent tornado path. Federal Protective Service provides what it calls an OEP handbook to help you develop a plan for you and your family will be a hit in your area.
You should also frequently Tornado Drills. If you're lucky, a cellar in your home, go down by at least 1 weeks supply of protected water and food not only from the tornado itself, but to ensure that you and your family enough to eat and drink until help arrives. Also have one or NOAA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration radio-ready. Verify that the backup battery and ensure that the radio has a tone warning signal so you can receive alerts in real time.
Even if possible, should have a radio and television side, so you can access public procurement weather. If no underground protection is available, go to an interior room on the lowest piece of ground and crawl under the heaviest, most stable piece of furniture in your house. I must say that the tornado warning in San Diego freak me a bit, but at least now I have a couple of clear methods. Good luck.
