Kansas City Tornado Drill
Today at 1:30 p.m. you might hear a bunch of noise, it’ll be the local tornado drill. No, we aren’t actually having a tornado but they are doing a drill so that everyone knows what it sounds like and can plan for one. They are said to be doing this in the Kansas and Missouri area, so both states should hear it.
So where do you go in case of a tornado?
If you live in something unsturdy like a trailer or a mobile home, get out and run to the closest shelter. Schools in the area will be teaching the children what do to today, however if you are home you may want to practice as well. Go to a sturdy room and if you can hide under a desk or table, placing your arms above your head to protect your neck. (head down, hands covering back of your neck)
Do not hide by a window!
Last year, Kansas broke their record for the most tornadoes at 137, Missouri didn’t have as many but it still got hit pretty hard. Be prepared and be safe this tornado season.
