Tornadoes are among nature’s most violent storms—capable of destroying entire neighborhoods in seconds. Here in Southern Georgia, they can strike with little notice, sometimes forming within fast-moving thunderstorms or spinning off from tropical systems. While coastal tornadoes can be smaller, they can still be deadly, and inland twisters can bring devastating winds and flying debris. Because the warning time can be short—sometimes only minutes—it’s critical to know the signs, understand alerts, and have your shelter plan ready to act instantly. Know the Signs of a Tornado
