It's easy to think you know what to do when there's a tornado warning.
Most people, if they're like me, do absolutely nothing. They assume that it's all a mistake, or that the storm will stay south, or north, or whatever direction it happens to be reported to be.
It's a good thing we have programs in our schools that teach children what to do — because they won't learn it from us.
This week is Severe Weather Awareness Week, and we're encouraged to make safety plans in the event of an emergency such as tornados.
To drive home the point, I spent a little time with third-, fourth- and fifth-graders at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School in Eastlake getting a lesson in tornados and how to respond if one suddenly is barreling down on you.
