Hail Storms



    Hail is formed when rain passes through a belt of cold air and freezes on its way to the ground. Hail can accompany tornados and thunderstorms and fall at speeds of over 100 miles per hour: So...SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY if you are caught in a hail storm!

    Hailstorm Safety Tips:


      · When driving into a hailstorm, find a safe place to pullover and turn your vehicle so the hail will be hitting the windshield. The safety glass in the windshield will help protect you.

      · In a building, stay away from windows!

      · If you are outside, seek shelter immediately! Hail of any size can be dangerous when pelted in high winds.

      · If you can’t protect your entire body, at least try to protect your head. Many hailstorm related deaths are due to being struck in the head with a hail stone.

      · If weather conditions are prime for a storm, move cars, boats, RVs, and lawn and patio furniture into a covered area.
