Live storm monitoring | Columbus, oh updates, radar

Columbus, Ohio – A storm system moved to the center of Ohio on Sunday afternoon and evening,, Bringing thunder and heavy showers.

There was a level 1 risk of serious thunderstorms because a few storms could produce gusts of damaging wind. Strong showers are also a concern.

Watch
A watch indicates the possibility of violent time in a relatively large area. For example, a tornado watch means that conditions are favorable to the development of tornadoes. Make your normal routines, but monitor the threatening weather conditions.

Warning
A warning is issued when bad weather is actually occurring. For example, a tornado warning means that a tornado has actually been seen or was indicated by the radar. The warning generally includes a relatively small geographical area. If a warning is issued for the area in which you live, put yourself immediately!

Strong winds
Strong winds of 55 MPH or more can cause significant damage even if no tornado is present. The “gusts” are columns of air that slam towards the earth and distribute the strong winds in many directions. Ruptures can be as damaging as tornadoes; If such conditions are present, take the same precautions as you would for a tornado.

Lightning
Lightning claims more lives each year than tornadoes. When lightning is a threat, stay inside and do not use electrical devices. If you are caught up outside, keep a safety distance from large objects and try to stay lower than anything nearby. A safe distance from a tree is twice its height.

Storms producing Ohio tornadoes often approach the Southwest. They can travel at speeds up to 70 miles per hour and contain estimated winds at more than 200 miles per hour.

Sometimes a tornado approaching will be the roar of a train or a plane. If you see or hear a tornado, put yourself immediately. Look for an inside shelter, preferably under the ground level. Do not waste time opening windows; Tornado’s strength winds “open” the windows long before the pressure difference could cause structural damage. Above all, protect your head and lie flat.

At home
Log away from windows, doors and outdoor walls. Go to the basement. If you don’t have a basement, go to a bathroom, a cupboard or a bedroom on the first floor in the center of the house. If possible, be under heavy furniture and cover your head with blankets or pillows.

At school
Go to the lowest ground or basement. Go to small interior rooms or corridors. Log away from windows and avoid auditoriums, gymnasiums and other areas with wide and free roofs.

In public buildings
Go immediately to the designated shelter area or in an interior corridor or a small room at the lowest level. Log away from the windows. Do not use elevators. Do not go to your car.

D – Go down to the lowest level, get away from the windows
U – flexible something (like a staircase in the basement or a heavy table or office)
C – Cover your head
K – Stay safe until the storm has passed
