Conducting a Simulated Tornado Warning
Per U.P. Chief Mellon:
On Thursday, April 12, 2007, around 1:00 PM the National Weather Service will issue a simulated Tornado Watch. A watch means that weather conditions are favorable for the formation of a tornado. It does not mean that a tornado has been sighted or is considered imminent.
Between 1:10 PM and 1:15 PM the simulated watch will be upgraded to a simulated Tornado Warning. Winnebago County will sound the civil defense sirens which in a real situation may be the only warning you would receive. A Tornado Warning means that a tornado has been sighted in the area visually or on radar and you should take cover immediately. Do not leave the building, stay in the Library's sheltered basement.
We must conduct an actual drill.
When you hear the public address announcement telling you to collect your belongings and to to the basement of the library, do help assist others down to the first floor lobby and then down into the basement. An 'all clear' announcement will be made 5 minutes after the last person arrives in the basement.
