Yucheng tornado has killed two children. What should we do when encountering tornado

An amusement trampoline in Tianmiao township of Yucheng County was blown away by dust at about 15 pm on March 31, the official microblog of Shangqiu municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department reported tonight. So far, two children have been killed, one seriously injured and 17 children and two adults slightly injured. The local government is making every effort to organize treatment, and the latest situation will be released in time.

The killer in a storm is a tornado. It is powerful, fast and destructive. It can cause great damage to buildings. If a tornado encounters people, it is even more terrible. So what should we do when we encounter a tornado?

What should I do in case of tornado?

When a tornado strikes, you should first see if your house is solid. If you are not sure about your house, you should run into the basement to hide. If you have a cellar in the countryside, you can go into the cellar and take valuable things with you, so as not to be blown away by the tornado.

When a tornado comes, you'd better choose the room in the north or northeast. The room facing the east-west direction is more dangerous, and the room facing the tornado is safer, because there are no windows, doors and other vulnerable links.

If there is no place to escape for a while, close the door and window of the room facing the tornado, and open the window on the other side. In this way, even if the tornado blows into the room, it will quickly go out from the other window, which can reduce the damage.

If it's outside, don't coincide with the tornado's route. Run in a right angle to it. If it's empty, lie down in a low-lying place and hold your head.

If you are driving, you should leave the high ground or bridge deck, drive the car to a flat and low-lying place, stop the car to avoid. If you have time, people should get out of the car, because tornadoes are easy to overturn the car.

In areas with frequent tornadoes, listen to the weather forecast before going out. It's better to go elsewhere or prepare in advance for tornado weather, and be prepared with food and warm keeping supplies.
