    Public Information Statement

    Statement as of 6:35 PM CDT on July 25, 2008


    ... Safety rules for severe thunderstorms - for media to broadcast...

    a Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued by the National Weather
    Service for the portions of southeast Missouri... far southwest
    Illinois and far western Kentucky. The following safety tips are
    being provided in hope that the broadcast media will frequently
    broadcast these messages while the watch affects their area.

    A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for the
    development of severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
    If you are in the watch area... keep up to date of the latest weather
    information. These storms can develop rapidly so there may be
    occasions when advance warning is not possible.

    A Severe Thunderstorm Warning means a severe thunderstorm has been
    observed or indicated by radar. If you are in the path or near the
    storm... take immediate actions to protect life and property. Follow
    these safety rules:

    1) in open country... you should seek shelter and avoid trees which
    can be targets for lightning. If there is no shelter... go to a ditch
    or culvert but beware of rising water which can cause flooding.

    2) when indoors... stay away from outside walls and windows and go to
    an interior room on the lowest level. Avoid using electrical
    appliances while the storm is nearby.

    3) in Mobile homes... you should leave and seek nearby safe shelter.

    4) if swimming or on a boat... you should get to shore as quickly as
    possible and find shelter.

    A thunderstorm is considered severe when it contains 3/4 inch or
    larger diameter size hail and/or wind gusts of 58 miles an hour or
    greater. A severe thunderstorm also produces deadly lightning and
    very heavy rain which can lead to flash flooding.

    Remember... with any severe thunderstorm there is always the
    possibility of tornadoes.
