Hotdogs 🤝 Tornadoes

Cobb County is currently under a Tornado Watch.

You’ve probably seen the taco analogy used to explain the difference between a watch and a warning. Since hot dogs are a popular summer favorite, here’s another way to think about it:

Tornado Watch: You have the buns, hot dogs, and toppings on the counter. All the ingredients are there, and conditions are right for something to happen.

Tornado Warning: The hot dog is fully assembled. It’s happening now, and it’s time to take action.

A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop.

If a Tornado Warning is issued, move immediately to an interior room on the lowest level of a sturdy building and stay away from windows.

While there is no immediate danger, now is the time to stay weather aware and be prepared.

-Monitor trusted weather sources and local forecasts
-Make sure Emergency Alerts are enabled on your phone
-Have multiple ways to receive warnings, especially if storms occur overnight
-Know where you will shelter if a warning is issued
-Charge phones and other essential devices
-Secure loose outdoor items that could become projectiles in strong winds

Stay weather aware, Cobb County. A few minutes of preparation now can make a big difference if conditions change.
