TORNADO WARNING
           
Tornadoes often can and do strike without advanced warning, and can strike any place and at any time.  The months of greatest frequency are late March through August.  Tornadoes cause destruction through the combined action of their strong rotary winds, the impact of wind blown objects and the partial vacuum effect created within the funnel cloud itself.  The major hazards include flying debris (especially glass), lightning, hail and downed power lines.

areas:
