Saginaw County is under a tornado watch until 4am. A watch means that conditions are right for a tornado to form.

Ensure you have a method(s) to receive alerts that will wake you up should this develop into a tornado warning overnight.

If a tornado warning is activated for your area move to the lowest part of your home, ideally the basement, away from windows.

You can find preparedness and response information for tornadoes at www.ready.gov
