Prepare for Tornado Season

Tornado season is right around the corner and every family should take the time to prepare for it. In Georgia, the average number of days with reported tornadoes is 6. Most tornadoes in Georgia occur from March to May but they have been reported throughout the year. Tornadoes usually occur mid-afternoon to early evening time frame, but can occur any time of the day or night. Thirty-seven percent of all tornadoes are classified as strong or violent and these tornadoes are most likely to occur in April. In Georgia, tornadoes are often hard to see as they are surrounded in areas of rain and hail. The hilly terrain can also limit ability to see a tornado. Therefore, it is very important that you educate yourself and your family about tornadoes and also have a plan of action in place before bad weather develops. Some very helpful websites I came across are listed below.
