Prepare Your Own Food Storage Cellar For An Emergency Case.
Facing a tornado.
In some countries you can come across many tornadoes especially in summer. They are usually formed in clear weather, when large air masses collide. If the warm air is below, it naturally rises. A crossing wind makes the warm air to turn on.
In fact a tornado is hard to be ignored by just passing by. It is a dark whirling column of the air in a diameter from several tens to several hundreds of meters. When this scaring thing approaches you can hear a deafening roar. A tornado born under a storm cloud seems to hang from it, sometimes with a curved axis of rotation. In the column the air rotates counterclockwise at a speed of up to 100 meters per second. Inside the giant crater the air pressure is always low. So because of this a tornado is able to suck in everything on its way. It can tear off the ground and rise in a spiral.
In fact a tornado moves across the land at an average speed of 50-60 km / h. Strong tornadoes are able to tear roofs, uproot trees, lift vehicles into the air, scatter telegraph poles and destroy the upper floors of buildings.
The best way to save your life when facing the approach of a tornado is to find a shelter. If the advance of this disaster has been obtained from the meteorological storm warning service, then the alarm will be announced on the local television and radio.
If you have time you’d better close doors, ventilation, and windows. However, windows and doors on the lee side should be open, because it will balance the internal and external pressure in the building. Based on the fact that any non – bound object can be in the air, look around on the balconies, loggias and courtyard.
So if there’s the risk of tornado then you should extinguish the fire if required, turn off the light and gas supply. Moreover it’s advisable to gather food for 2-3 days, take a flashlight, some medicine. Do not use the elevator. Try to fight panic. In fact I can say that measures of self-defense against a tornado are most similar to the optimal behavior for the coming hurricane.
But you must bear in mind that if you are in the building you should hide in underground facilities, but not inside the building.
If a tornado has caught you in open terrain, it is best for you to hide in a ditch by the road and certainly tightly cling to the ground. The same must be done if you’re out of town, in any kind of transport. Being in the city you must immediately leave the car, bus, tram and hide in the nearest shelter or basement. One must note that the most likely wind, rain or hail can accompany this hazard.
