What preventive measures do we have against the sudden tornado in Kaiyuan City, Liaoning Province?

When a tornado happens, we should first look for some favorable shelters or buildings, and then hide in them to prevent the sundries in the tornado from being thrown out and hitting us. Your current scientific and technological strength can't accurately predict tornadoes, so we need to have the ability to respond as soon as possible.

If people are at home and encounter a tornado, they should quickly close the doors and windows, then run to a room with a relatively small space, find a bunker or obstacle as much as possible, and cover their heads with their hands after crouching down to protect their own safety to the greatest extent.

Tornadoes usually occur in spring or autumn, and they are very easy to form in open areas. When a tornado is forming, we should flee immediately and never stay in the same place. Tornadoes form very quickly, only taking a minute. In less than that time, the tornado can be completely formed, which is an excellent opportunity to escape before the tornado is formed.

If you have transportation, you should take it as soon as possible and drive in the opposite direction of the tornado. Friends who don't have transportation, try to escape to both sides of the tornado, so as to effectively get rid of the tornado. Don't stay in a straight line for a long time, because tornadoes travel very fast, and may travel dozens of kilometers to 100 kilometers per hour.

In addition to these, you should know more about tornadoes at ordinary times, and try your best to save yourself after tornadoes to protect your personal and property safety to the greatest extent.

Tornadoes are likely to be accompanied by thunderstorms. If there are no accidents, don't go out at will in thunderstorm weather. Even if you can avoid a tornado, you are likely to be struck by lightning. I hope you can keep these precautions in mind.
