ICYMI: 🌪️ Tornado safety is the goal, and that means we need science about people, not just storms. 👇
🌪️🌩️ Storm warnings⚠️ are only useful if you can easily access, understand and act on them. We're working on ways to make severe weather info more effective for the public & building tools forecasters use to keep people safe! @NOAA @NOAAResearch @NWS 🔗: nssl.noaa.gov/research/socia…
