Your Safe Place from Extreme Wind

Did you know that nearly 50% of all severe weather reports are from damaging wind? Winds are considered severe when they reach 58 mph, with the strongest of thunderstorms capable of producing wind speeds in excess of 100 mph. Strong winds can knock over semi-trucks, trees, powerlines, and mobile homes, and are capable of producing damage paths hundreds of miles long.

During high winds, you are safest indoors. Immediately go inside a sturdy building and move to an interior room or basement away from windows. If you are in a mobile home, move to a sturdy building before the winds pick up or the storm system reaches your location.
