36. Quick facts you should know
about tornadoes:
• They may strike quickly, with little or no warning.
• They may appear nearly transparent until dust and
debris are picked up or a cloud forms in the funnel.
• The average tornado moves Southwest to
Northeast, but tornadoes have been known to move
in any direction.
• The average forward speed of a tornado is 30 mph,
but may vary from stationary to 70 mph.
• Tornadoes can accompany tropical storms and
hurricanes as they move onto land.
• Waterspouts are tornadoes that form over water.
• Tornadoes are most frequently reported east of the
Rocky Mountains during spring and summer months.
• Peak tornado season in the southern states is
March through May; in the northern states, it is late
spring through early summer.
• Tornadoes are most likely to occur between 3 pm
and 9 pm, but can occur at any time.
Make a Plan
Making a plan is simple…just think of the 5 W’s!
• Who: Gather input from all members of your family to consider all possibilities and make them
more likely to remember important steps when an emergency happens. Choose a contact person, a
family member or friend living somewhere else whom you can all contact if an emergency strikes
when you are separated.
• What: Plan for all hazards that could affect your family, considering potential hazards and
weather patterns in your region. Think through each possible emergency situation, and determine
how your family should respond.
• Where: Think about all the places you and your family may be throughout the day, such as home,
office, school and in transit. Establish meeting places and discuss situations to use them.
• When: Because emergencies can happen at any time, make your family emergency plan
immediately. You can use or model it after the form at the back of this booklet. Review the plan
annually and whenever there are major changes in your family situation, schedule or activities.
• Why: Emergencies can be scary. By establishing and practicing a family emergency plan, you and
your family are more likely to find each other quickly and help one another get through the
emergency situation safely and with less worry.
