8 Signs of tornados A way to discover that a tornado might form is if the clouds in the sky turn very dark of different colors such as green,purple,red or just really dark. Winds start to get really strong that it becomes really hard to walk. Also watch out for the season of tornadoes that your location has them.

Go in the basement if you have one if you don’t have a basement like if you live in a trailer home go to your tornado shelter. Go in doorways or under tables. Stay away from windows. Stay away from breakable objects. If your driving get out of the car immediately and find some good cover.
