Hey everyone , I'm Twisty the tornado ,

00:05.852 --> 00:07.797
and I'm here to help you stay safe

00:07.797 --> 00:10.050
during tornado season . A tornado is a

00:10.050 --> 00:12.409
violent rotating column of wind just

00:12.409 --> 00:14.742
like a jet engine . They form when warm ,

00:14.742 --> 00:16.829
moist air collides with cool dry air

00:16.969 --> 00:19.136
and the changing winds cause the storm

00:19.136 --> 00:23.100
to spin . Did you know , most tornadoes

00:23.100 --> 00:25.156
in Oklahoma happen between March and

00:25.156 --> 00:27.322
June . But they can happen any time of

00:27.322 --> 00:29.267
the year if conditions are right .

00:29.379 --> 00:31.601
Oklahoma is part of Tornado Alley , the

00:31.601 --> 00:33.879
most tornado-prone region in the world ,

00:33.879 --> 00:36.212
averaging more than 50 tornadoes a year .

00:36.580 --> 00:38.747
Here's something important . A tornado

00:38.747 --> 00:40.747
watch means conditions are ripe for

00:40.747 --> 00:42.858
severe weather to develop . A warning

00:42.858 --> 00:44.858
means danger is happening now or is

00:44.858 --> 00:47.080
about to happen , and it's time to take

00:47.080 --> 00:49.080
shelter immediately . Warnings from

00:49.080 --> 00:51.247
base weather may be broadcast over the

00:51.247 --> 00:53.247
giant voice system , while National

00:53.247 --> 00:55.469
Weather Service warnings may alert your

00:55.469 --> 00:57.469
mobile device . Sirens on base will

00:57.469 --> 00:59.469
sound when there's a tornado threat

00:59.469 --> 01:01.636
within 5 nautical miles , and the city

01:01.636 --> 01:01.459
of Altis sirens will sound during an

01:01.459 --> 01:03.900
imminent tornado threat . If a tornado

01:03.900 --> 01:06.122
warning is issued , head to the nearest

01:06.122 --> 01:08.289
shelter and place location and move to

01:08.289 --> 01:10.456
the designated safe interior area away

01:10.456 --> 01:12.400
from windows . Be prepared with an

01:12.400 --> 01:14.233
emergency kit , water , snacks ,

01:14.233 --> 01:16.540
flashlight , batteries , medication , a

01:16.540 --> 01:18.650
phone charger , first aid supplies ,

01:18.860 --> 01:21.430
and important documents . After the

01:21.430 --> 01:23.652
tornado passes , stay alert . Watch out

01:23.652 --> 01:25.874
for downed power lines , broken glass ,

01:25.874 --> 01:27.930
debris , and damaged buildings , and

01:27.930 --> 01:30.097
continue monitoring alerts for updated

01:30.097 --> 01:32.374
instructions . I'm Twisted the tornado ,

01:32.374 --> 01:33.889
and tornado safety starts with you .
