Tornado siren? Today? Disaster? Emergency?!? #OHWx

Tornado siren? Today? Disaster? Emergency?!?

On Wednesday March 23rd, 2016 at 0950 EST, communities across the state of Ohio that have tornado warning siren systems, will test them. In addition, an Emergency Alert System (EAS) warning message will be broadcast. We encourage all communities with sirens to participate in this annual event by conducting their own tornado drills and reviewing their emergency plans.

This is only a test.

A strong EF-1 tornado that hit Pepper Pike

Posted on March 22, 2016 by rusnivek

Yes it is 2016 National Severe Weather Preparedness Week. Back in 2013, a strong EF-1 hit Pepper Pike (Cuyahoga County, Ohio) in 2013 at 3am.

Luckily, there were no deaths associated with this tornado. Trust me, the damage was unreal.

Yikes is right. But now is the time to review your preparedness kits and double check your family communications plan.

On Wednesday 03-22-16 at 0950 EST, Ohio will have a statewide test of the tornado sirens. This is only a test.

Test your tornado plans by:

Taking shelter in a safe location on the lowest level of a sturdy building
Keeping an emergency first aid kit in your shelter location.
Having a copy of your family communications plans.
Putting on boots (for post tornado debris).

These simple tips could help you survive a tornado strike.

More weather info can be found 24/7 by my trusted partners at NWS-CLE.

I hope that you can participate in our statewide tornado drill tomorrow. #SafetySur #NatlPrep #OHWx #severeprep

Apparently, my first tweet…was not that exciting.

I guess that’s OK, because I was not out galavanting (or goofing off) on a Tuesday night at 11:28 PM.

Either way, Happy 10 years Twitter!

Looking forward to many more tweets!

“Twitter for 10,000 characters” Alex.

Nope – looks like Twitter will be keeping it’s 140-character limit tweet.

In a Good Morning interview on 03-18-16 with Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey (@jack) said “Absolutely not” to the 10,000 character twitter postings – whew. Here’s the link to the video.

Thanks @Jack – Ain’t nobody got time for 10,000 characters.
