DUers in AL,GA and FL


Please take note of the bad weather this afternoon! Tornado warning has been issued in central Alabama (Lee and Russell counties) and disturbed weather all around the SE. it is a large and exceptionally strong tornado.

Do you know where your safest place is located where you are now? Mine is in my middle of the house bathroom and we had to use it 3 years ago. One of the scariest things that even happened to me. When the weather people said get to your safe space now, we went. We had already thought about it, put in pillows, water, weather radio, flashlight and cell phone.

Be ready. You never know when you will need a safe space in tornado season.

Put as many walls as you can between you and the outer walls & windows.

Use a helmet if you have one.

Many injuries are blunt force trauma to the head. Tornados are quick and no one is watching..
