Missouri’s annual tornado drill will occur at 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 8, (today) the National Weather Service said. It encourages schools, businesses and households to practice as if it were a real tornado.
Sirens in the City of Houston will sound.
“This year, in order to avoid confusing the public, we will not be sending out a live tornado warning on NOAA Weather Radio, but rather will send out a message asking people to practice sheltering. Communities are encouraged to sound outdoor warning sirens as part of the drill as in the past,” it said in a press release.
