www.cbsnews.comI don’t have live data access right now, but I can summarize how to find the latest north Texas tornado warnings and what to do.
-
How to check latest warnings quickly
- National Weather Service Fort Worth (NWS Fort Worth) and local TV stations’ weather pages often post real-time tornado warnings and storm updates. Look for sections labeled “Tornado Warnings” or “Severe Weather.”
- Weather apps and emergency alert systems on your phone (e.g., NOAA Weather Radio, Apple/Android weather alerts) provide push updates for active warnings in North Texas.
- If you’re in Montréal, you can still monitor US radar and warning updates via reliable outlets like the local CBS/Fox/NWS feeds or national weather services online.
-
Immediate safety steps if a warning is active
- Seek shelter in a sturdy interior room on the lowest level, away from windows.
- Put as many walls between you and the outside as possible; a basement or interior hallway works well.
- Protect yourself with a helmet, sturdy pillow, or mattress if available; cover yourself with a heavy coat or blanket.
- Have a NOAA weather radio or battery-powered radio to receive updates if power is out.
- Do not stay in place to take photos or video; go to safety first, then report.
If you’d like, tell me your nearest city or county in North Texas, and I’ll provide a targeted list of current warning statuses and the best local sources to monitor right now. I can also help you set up a quick checklist for tornado safety tailored to your space.
