Show (noTtisOeoior When is the tornado season? In what direction should you look for tornadoes, in case of a tornado warning? THE TORNADO season will begin in about two months. Tornadoes are more frequent in spring and early summer than any other time of the year, although they occur at other times during the year. Sometimes they occur quite late in the year, and several have already been reported during the middle of March this year. Tornadoes can be expected to approach from the west, as a general rule. They may come from the northwest or the southwest but in most cases they will come from a westerly direction. . THEY DO not move at great speed, but the circular winds within the funnel are very high velocity winds. They should be avoided always, and because of their smallness, one can practically always dodge them in an automobile, or even sometimes on footin daylight. Tornadoes in the early morning hours, just , before daylight, occur before warnings are heard and many are injured as a result. o . ,aa , S . , tit |
