ORANGE COUNTY UNDER TORNADO WARNING
Residents should take shelter immediately
from Goshen, N.Y. received 6:55pm – Orange County Emergency Management advises residents that the County is now under a tornado warning. There is an imminent threat of a tornado and residents should take shelter immediately in an underground area, such as a basement or storm cellar, which provides the best protection from a tornado. If an underground shelter is unavailable, consider the following: Seek a small interior room or hallway on the lowest floor possible; Stay away from doors, windows, and outside walls; Stay in the center of the room, and avoid corners because they attract debris; Rooms constructed with reinforced concrete, brick or block with no windows and a heavy concrete floor or roof system overhead; and, try to avoid auditoriums, cafeterias and gymnasiums that have flat, wide-span roofs.
