Statewide Tornado Drill Today

(St. Louis) Just days after a tornado killed three members of a Missouri family and four others in central Iowa, Missouri is continuing plans for a statewide tornado drill today.

NOAA weather radios will alert everyone about the tornado drill set for this morning at 10:00, and outdoor warning sirens will also sound across the state.

People are being asked to practice taking cover in a designated shelter.

Schools, businesses, and families are all being encouraged to take part in this statewide tornado drill.

Emergency officials are reminding us to have a plan, always be ready for a tornado, and to be aware of the dangers of lightning, hail, wind, and floods.
