Know the difference between a tornado watch and tornado warning. While a tornado watch means that conditions are right for a tornado so be ready for one, a tornado warning means that a tornado is happening or will impact your area shortly and take shelter right away.

Every year, thousands of people suffer serious injuries from fireworks — and the most common injuries are to hands, eyes, and faces.
Don’t become a statistic. Celebrate safely and leave the explosions to the experts. Go to a professional show.
