🌪️ Tornado Warning for Western Centre County 🌪️

We’re under a Tornado Warning until 8:45 PM, so as much as we’d all love to stand on the porch and say, “Wow, look at that sky!”… please don’t.

A tornado warning means a tornado has been detected by radar or reported nearby, so this is the time to take shelter, not just keep an eye on things. (National Weather Service⁠)

🏠 Head to a basement or the lowest floor
🚪 Choose a small interior room away from windows
🛡️ Cover your head and protect yourself from flying debris
📱 Keep weather alerts on and continue checking official updates
🐶 Grab the pets too, if you can do so safely. Please bring them inside.

Basically: get low, get inside, stay away from windows, and save the storm watching for the Weather Channel.

Stay safe until the warning expires or officials give the all-clear! 🌪️❤️
