Lots of severe weather tonight.
Several tornado watches and a couple of warnings across the US.
A few tornado tips:
1. Don't wait for the warning or sirens. If a watch is issued, stick close to shelter and any safe room you might have (strike that - SHOULD have).
2. If (and only if) your safe room is also your laundry room, you can put a small child or pet inside your front-loading dryer, but don't close the door. This adds a layer of protection around them.
3. If the kids have bicycle or skateboard helmets, have them wear them.
4. Pets should go in their carriers. Protects them and in most cases actually makes them feel safer amid the noises of a heavy storm.
5. In prepping for future storms, train your pets to go to the safe room on command. This frees you up (especially single Moms) to round up the kids and do last-minute prep work on your safe area.
