For your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a
building.
Prepare immediately for large hail and damaging winds. People outside
should move immediately to shelter inside a strong building. Stay

Large hail, damaging wind, and continuous cloud to ground lightning

one of nature's leading killers. Remember, if you can hear thunder,
you are close enough to be struck by lightning.
