MYTH: AreAs neAr rivers, lAkes, mountAins, And even cities Are sAfe from tornAdoes.

no place is safe from tornadoes. they can cross rivers, travel up mountains, roar through valleys and hit major metropolitan areas. the great tri-state tornado of 1925, the deadliest tornado ever recorded, crossed both the mississippi and Wabash rivers.

MYTH: open WindoWs in your house to equAlize pressure.

do not do this! your house will not “explode” due to a tornado passing over it, and taking time to open windows reduces your ability to seek safe shelter in time. plus, opening windows allows damaging winds to enter thestructure.

MYTH: Get to (or AWAy from) the southWest corner of the buildinG for sAfety.

the safest place in a building is in a small, reinforced room (bathroom or closet) near the center of the building, on the lowest floor (preferably below ground). safer yet, of course, is a shelter specifically designed for tornado safety.

MYTH: mobile homes AttrAct tornAdoes.

this myth probably came from the tendency of tornadoes to demolish mobile homes while leaving nearby structures only slightlydamaged. mobile homes can be severely damaged even by weak tornadoes. if the mobile home is not tied down, it iseven vulnerable to 50 mph winds.

MYTH: loW pressure With A tornAdo cAuses buildinGs to “explode” As the tornAdo pAsses overheAd.

violent winds and debris slamming into buildings cause most structural damage.

MYTH: if you Are cAuGht out in the open, you should seek shelter under hiGhWAy overpAsses.

seeking shelter under an overpass puts you at greater risk of being killed or seriously injured by flying debris from the powerful tornadic winds. Airborne debris is blown into and channeled under the overpass. debris of varying sizes and types moving at incredible speeds can easily penetrate clothing and skin causing serious injuries and possibly death. A person could be blown out or carried away from the overpass by the fierce tornado winds. people positioned at the top of the overpass encounter even higher wind speeds and more missile-like debris.

WhAt to do bEforE a sTorM?

emerGency docuMEnT bag

u one of the most important things you can do to prevent being injured or killed in a tornado is to be alert to the possibility of severe weather. Most deaths and injuries happen to people who are unaware and uninformed.

u develop a plan for you and your family for home, work, school and when outdoors. Know where your designated shelter is located BeFore the storm season begins.

u have frequent drills.

u Know the county in which you live, and keep a highway map nearby to follow storm movement from weather bulletins.

u have a noAA Weather radio with a warning alarm tone and battery back-up to receive warnings. listen to radio and television for information.

u if planning a trip outdoors, listen to the latest forecasts and take necessary action if threatening weather is possible.

u if you shop frequently at certain stores, learn locations of bath rooms, storage rooms or other interior shelter areas away from windows, and the shortest ways to get there.

u Put together an emergency storm kit including a battery powered radio, extra money, flashlight, batteries, bottled water, essential medicines, extra clothes, canned food, blankets and simple first aid items in a waterproof container.

u have a pre-determined place to meet after a disaster.

When and where a disaster might strike is impossible to predict. you might have only a few minutes or a couple hours’ notice to gather your family, take what you can and make your way to a safe location. by creating an emergency document bag, you’ll have all of your important documents and files ready to go whenever you need to leave home in a hurry.

An eMergenCY doCuMent BAg is made up of your most important and irreplaceable papers, photos, mementos and a backup of your computer. it’s best to keep these items in plastic, ziploc bags. We recommend you use the two-gallon bags as they will easily protect and secure most of your folders, files and papers. put the bags in a waterproof and fireproof lockbox. if you don’t have one, we recommend you pick one up, or consider double-bagging these valuables.

one of Wichita Falls’ newer

outdoor warning sirens

WArninG sYsTEMthe city of Wichita falls uses an outdoor Warning system that consists of 34 outdoor warning sirens installed in 1996 and 20 additional older sirens. this outdoor Warning system is designed to warn people who are outside of an event in the area. this outdoor Warning system will be activated when:

u there is a verified report of a tornado within city limits or a verified report of a tornado that will be entering the city limits. u there is a verified report of sustained winds at or in excess of 58 mph. the term “sustained” is defined as three minutes long.

this outdoor Warning system is tested with an audible signal on the first monday of each month. if the weather appears threatening, this monthly test will be canceled. the newer sirens are silently tested during the month to ensure they are in working order. in addition, the system is capable of utilizing integrated public address speakers to provide a verbal message.

When you hear the sirens, take shelter immediately and tune in to the local tv or radio station for additional information. visit timesrecordnews.com on your computer or mobile device for up-to-date weather bulletins.

Additionally, noAA Weather radio (nWr) is a nationwide network of radio stationsbroadcasting continuous weather information direct from a nearby national Weather service office. receivers for these radio signals are available at many electronic, department and discount stores.

A single tornado may be classified at different intensities along its path during its existence, ranging from the lowest category to the highest.

the Wichita falls tornado of 1979 was ranked at its points of greatest intensity as an f4 on the older fujita scale. it is classified as an ef5 on the newer, enhanced scale.

the 79’ Tornado

1958 tornado/ Courtney e.h. Manes, Jason Polittle, scott Blair

tornAdo rEcords

Wichita falls was struck by tornadoes four times during the 20th century, the deadliest and damaging of those storms coming on April 10, 1979.

the tornado formed in Archer county just before 6 p.m., then struck memorial stadium and mcniel Junior high school off southwest parkway. first fatalities were recorded in an apartment complex and an adjoining housing area near the stadium. continuing along southwest parkway, the tornado destroyed the southwest national bank building and severely damaged other commercial buildings, it destroyed many houses in the Western hills Addition, most houses in the faith village Addition, and it severely damaged ben milam elementary school.

it crossed kemp boulevard, and while the tornado’s worst winds generally missed the sikes senter, some stores were heavily damaged and many cars in the mall parking lot were blown some distance. different colored bricks at the top of dillard’s are evidence of the ’79 tornado’s wrath. the twister skirted midwestern state university, but damaged and destroyed homes in

colonial park, hursh, southmoor, southwind and southern hills. on the eastern side of the city, the tornado destroyed the sun valley housing area, sunny-side heights mobile home park and several large commercial businesses, including the levi strauss plant. outside the city, the tornado hit south of dean and near byers where it destroyed a number of rural homes. the twister dissipated into Jefferson county, okla., where numerous letters, photographs and documents belonging to people in Wichita falls were found. the tornado’s path totaled 47 miles, eight of which went straight through Wichita falls.

At certain points, the tornado inflicted damage as high as f4 (the intensity of damage scale in use at the time) a half mile wide. At times, the tornado was multiple-vortex, where the mother tornado was accompanied by smaller twisters. it’s indicated that as many as five small twisters travelled with the large vortex.

forty two people were killed in Wichita falls. three others died of heart attacks or other medical conditions attributable to the storm.

TRN262151

for decades, residents of north texas have considered themselves part of tornado Alley, a narrow corridor running north from west central texas through nebraska, then hooking right into iowa and southern minnesota.

but the most deadly and damaging outbreaks of the past few years have occurred in midwestern and southern states, raising the question — has tornado Alley moved?

officially, there is no tornado Alley. the national Weather service is quick to point out torna-does can occur anywhere in the continental u.s. the term was coined to denote a part of the country that has historically had greater incidence of tornadoes than other parts.

corelogic, a provider of information and analysis for the insurance industry, recently released results of a study titled, “tornado and hail risk beyond tornado Alley.”

“the extensive destruction wrought by convective storms in 2011, which produce hail, strong winds and tornados, captured the attention of the public and forced many insurance companies to rethink the way they assess natural hazard risk,” the report says.

rather than view the violent storms in the south and midwest as anomalies, the report contends the increase in the number of incidents and shift in geographic distribution of losses calls the long-held notion of risk concentration in tornado Alley into question.

of the top 10 states with the highest number of tornado touchdowns between 1980 and 2009, only three actually fell within tornado Alley, the report claims.

“estimated property damage within the tornado Alley states from 2000-2011 was approximately $2.5 billion, while in comparison, the 16 states located outside of tornado Alley with the next highest numbers of tornado touchdowns totaled nearly $15.5 billion in property damage. those states range from illinois and ohio to mississippi and Alabama, extending as far north as parts of minnesota and as far south as florida,” it says. the report attributes the perceived dramatic increase in the frequency and severity of tornado events in recent years to a number of factors, including improved observational tools, broadened geographic distribution of modern doppler radar stations, population growth and migration to suburban areas.

it also contends that round-the-clock disaster news reporting via television, online coverage and social media have greatly affected public awareness and likely heightened sensitivity to severe weather events in recent years.

finally, it points to growing scientific evidence of an increase in the actual number of severe weather outbreaks as the result of rising global temperatures.

the recent shift in significant tornadic events away from the traditional tornado Alley does not mean the region is no longer at risk.

meteorologically, the region known as tornado Alley is ideally situated for the formation of supercell thunderstorms,often the producers of violent (ef2 or greater) tornadoes.

Tornado AlleY


sAftey TIpsu Go to a basement and get under the stairway or under a heavy piece of furniture. if there is no basement, go to a small interior room on the lowest floor, such as a closet, bathroom or hallway. put as many walls as possible between you and the outside.

u stay away from windows and glass and cover your head! cover your body with thick blankets, pillows, mattresses, sleeping bags, couch cushions, etc.

u know where very heavy objects rest on the floor above (pianos, refrigerators, waterbeds, chimneys etc.) and do not go under them. they may fall down through a weakened floor and crush you.

u At school, go to your designated location...or to an interior hallway on the lowest floor and cover your head!

u Avoid locations with high ceilings or wide-span roofs, such as gymnasiums, shopping malls, cafeterias, churches and auditoriums.

u Abandon mobile homes and go to the lowest floor of a sturdy nearby building or a storm shelter.

u if caught outside or in a vehicle, go to the lowest floor of a sturdy nearby building or as a last resort, lie flat in a ditch or depression and cover your head.

u do not try to outrun a tornado in your car. leave it immediately for safe shelter.

u do not take shelter under highway overpasses or bridges.

u in a pinch, put a metal trash can over your body. it will keep some flying debris from injuring you.

remember, flying debris from tornadoes that causes the most injuries and fatalities.

FlaSh FlOOdiNg/FlOOdiNg the number one weather related killer is flooding. flooding deaths often occur as people try to drive through flooded roads and become trapped or swept away in the rushing waters. flash floods can occur year-round in our region. in winter and spring, heavy rain combined with rapid snowmelt and ice jams are the primary causes of flash flooding. in summer, slow-moving thunderstorms are the primary cause of flash floods. in late summer and fall, remnants of tropical systems are the focus of flash flooding. some parts of hill country is central texas are especially prone to flash flooding. Wichita falls has experienced major flooding in the past.

lighTNiNglightning causes, on average, 73 fatalities each year across the nation. As a rule, if you hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning. lightning has been known to strike up to fifteen miles away from the parent cloud. people should remain indoors during a storm that produces cloud-to-ground lightning.

STRaighT-liNe WiNdSstraight-line thunderstorm winds, sometimes in sudden downbursts, occasionally in excess of 100 miles an hour, can uproot trees and destroy buildings. often, the damage from straight-line wind events is blamed on tornadoes.

hailthunderstorms occasionally produce damaging hail. While fatalities from hail are few, hail injures many and causes millions of dollars in damage each year. A large hailstone can fall as fast as 100 mph as it makes its descent from the upper levels of a thunderstorm.
