ORDER IN WHICH  TO REPORT SEVERE STORM EVENT:
1) Type/name of report (hail, tornado, wind damage, snow, ice, etc).
2) Where and what time the event occurred. Local time/zone only. Location as accurately as possible:
     A) Town (or distance/direction from),
     B) County,
     C) Road/street intersections/address,
     D) Direction of view.
3) Hail, measured on longest side. Fall field coverage %; example, 90% covered with 40% 1" and 50% half inch and smaller. No marbles!
4) Wall cloud, funnel, tornado. Verify whether or not you can see the surface beneath the feature. Try to include direction of travel.
5) Any damage due to the event (downed trees, branches, powerlines, structural damage).
6) Send descriptive photos when possible (photos MUST include descriptions as outlined above).

BE ALERT, KNOW YOUR SURROUNDINGS, BE SAFE!
