Residents across southern Indiana and Kentucky are being urged to stay alert as a Tornado Watch remains in effect until 3 am on Saturday. The watch covers a wide area, including ten counties in Indiana and 24 in Kentucky. While no tornadoes have been reported yet, a Wind Advisory is also in place from Friday evening until Saturday afternoon, with gusts of up to 50 mph being possible.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay tuned to local news broadcasts and weather alerts, and to make preparations in case a tornado warning is issued. This includes identifying a safe place in advance to take shelter, such as a basement, interior room or hallway on the lowest level of a building.
The National Weather Service also advises people to avoid traveling on highways and in cars, especially in areas where the tornado watch is in effect. In case of emergency, residents should call 911 or seek assistance from local authorities. Stay safe and prepare for any potentially dangerous weather conditions.
