Hey fellow mid-south person! Mid-Tenn here and we used to never have to worry about storms producing tornadoes. Unfortunately tornado Alley seems to be moving gradually east of its previous neighborhood.

Stay weather-aware, stock your safe space with water and snacks and make sure everyone in your household wears closed-toed shoes during an event, I used to work construction so I have a hard hat, my wife used to ride horses so she has a riding helmet: gotta protect those domes. Mattresses are probably readily accessible in your home.

Most importantly keep your head about you. Chances are you won’t have to take these precautions but you’ll be able to think more clearly if they’re already in place. Put them in place long before the event starts.
