A tornado / severe thunderstorm watch means that tornadoes and severe thunderstorms are possible.
A tornado / severe thunderstorm warning means that a tornado or severe thunderstorm has actually been sighted somewhere in the warning area.
If a tornado is sighted approaching the campus:
1. Go to the basement or interior hallway on the lowest floor if time permits. Otherwise, go to an inside wall of your classroom or office, as far away from doors and windows as possible.
2. Avoid auditoriums, gymnasiums, or other structures with wide, free-span roofs.
3. Take shelter underneath your desk or any heavy furniture available.
4. Assume a curled position to protect your head and eyes.
