As Midwest residents watch the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, the National Weather Service wants us to be prepared for potentially dangerous fall weather.

The annual Fall Severe Weather Safety Campaign, runs today through Friday and focuses on preparedness for fall severe weather, such as tornadoes, strong winds, hail, and flash flooding.

This time of year can bring storms that are just as dangerous as those in spring and summer. The campaign emphasizes the importance of staying informed, having a weather plan, and knowing safety procedures like seeking shelter during tornado warnings.

Educational resources and tips are provided to help individuals and families stay safe throughout the season.
