PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1240 PM EST SAT NOV 15 2008

A TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR YOUR COUNTY. THIS MEANS THAT 
CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TORNADOES.

A TORNADO WARNING WILL BE ISSUED FOR YOUR SPECIFIC LOCATION IF 
EITHER A TORNADO HAS BEEN SIGHTED OR WAS INDICATED BY DOPPLER RADAR. 
LISTEN CAREFULLY TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS OR YOUR FAVORITE 
MEDIA SOURCE TO HEAR IF YOUR AREA WILL BE IN THE PATH OF THE 
TORNADIC THUNDERSTORM. REMEMBER, IF A TORNADO WARNING IS ISSUED, THE 
THREAT IS IMMINENT.

THE FOLLOWING ARE TORNADO SAFETY RULES. IF YOU ARE IN A HOME OR 
BUILDING, YOU SHOULD MOVE TO THE LOWEST FLOOR OR BASEMENT. IF AN 
UNDERGROUND SHELTER IS NOT AVAILABLE, MOVE TO AN INTERIOR ROOM OR 
HALLWAY ON THE LOWEST FLOOR. PUT AS MANY WALLS BETWEEN YOU AND THE 
OUTSIDE AS POSSIBLE. PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FLYING AND FALLING DEBRIS
WITH PILLOWS, BLANKETS, SLEEPING BAGS, OR MATTRESSES OR BY GETTING 
UNDER A STURDY PIECE OF FURNITURE. ALWAYS STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS. 
NEVER SEEK SHELTER FROM A TORNADO IN AN AUTOMOBILE.  IF CAUGHT 
OUTSIDE, LIE FLAT IN A NEARBY DITCH OR DEPRESSION. NEVER TRY 
TO OUTRUN A TORNADO. MOBILE HOMES, EVEN IF TIED DOWN, OFFER LITTLE 
PROTECTION FROM TORNADOES AND SHOULD BE ABANDONED IMMEDIATELY.

OCCASIONALLY, TORNADOES DEVELOP SO RAPIDLY THAT ADVANCED WARNING IS 
NOT POSSIBLE. REMAIN ALERT FOR SIGNS OF AN APPROACHING TORNADO. 
FLYING DEBRIS FROM TORNADOES CAUSE MOST DEATHS AND INJURIES.

ONCE AGAIN, A TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR YOUR COUNTY.
