These tips were taken from the
Swisher Currents that are daily
distributed around our county by
Swisher Electnc The Sting Staff
thought they were wortn repeating
here. Be safe and smart during tor-
nado season.
Tornado time starts about this
time of year in some parts of the
country Months of peak storm
activity are April, May and June.
Tornadoes are most likely to form
from 3 00 p.m to 8 00 p.m. Be
sure you know what to do if you
are caught in one
Go to the right comer — For
many years, it was believed that
the southwest comer of the base-
ment was the place to be. NOT
SO!' In fact, experts say it can be
the worst place to be The most re-
cent damage patterns indicate that
the safest comer is the side farthest
from the oncoming tornado
Take cover — If your house has
no basement, go to the far comer
on the ground floor Hide under a
heavy piece of furniture, like a bed
or a desk, or in a closet or other
room without windows.
Don’t drive — You can hide, but
you can’t run Tornadoes don’t
travel much faster than 60mph, but
the roads will likely be clogged
with vehicles trying to escape. In
a 1979 Texas tornado, half of the
deaths happened to people trying
to escape in cars
Anyone already on the road
should remember that although it
is best to flee at right angles to the
twister, it can change directions
quickly and unpredictably. So seek
protection m a ditch, ravine, or any
sturdy shelter you may find.
In a mobile home? Get mobile!
— You are usually better off in a
structure, but if you’re in a mobile
home, get out — quickly. When
last counted, 45% of all tornado fa-
talities occurred in mobile homes.
Close the windows — We were
once told to open the house win-
dows. Don’t do it. It could make it
easier for the winds to lift the roof
or the whole building
Tornado facts — With winds up
to 300 mph, the tornado is one of
the most savage storms on earth. It
umn of air extending from the base
of a thunderstorm and touching the
ground. All thunderstorms are ca-
pable of producing tornadoes.
The funnel clouds are most like-
ly to appear when the following
conditions are present unseason-
ably warm and humid air near
the ground, cold air above it, and
strong winds above the cold layer.

are these kids at a higher risk of
being diagnosed with a multitude
of diseases such as heart disease or
diabetes, they are also very likely
to grow up to be obese adults
Almost twenty percent
of the population in the US is
overweight or obese, and statistics
show that unless we change our
eating habits and exercise routines,
this percentage will double in the
next thirty-five or forty years.
Overweight children are just as
malnourished as underweight chil- eventually not so much of a chore

just eat too much. These kids are
also malnourished m some way.
Either their diet is not meeting the
