BREAKING: Woodlands Area Under Tornado Warning

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The National Weather Service has just issued a Tornado Warning for northern Harris County and southern Montgomery County - including The Woodlands area - until 8:30 this morning. Residents are encouraged to seek safety and conduct appropriate safety measures.

When a Tornado Warning has been issued, it means that a tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. There is imminent danger to life and property. Move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Avoid windows. If in a mobile home, a vehicle, or outdoors, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris. Warnings are issued by your local forecast office. Warnings typically encompass a much smaller area (around the size of a city or small county) that may be impacted by a tornado identified by a forecaster on radar or by a trained spotter/law enforcement who is watching the storm.
