Answer 1

I live in central MA too, about 30 mins from boston. I saw the tornado warning on the TV and I freaked out too cuz I've never event dreamt of a tornado where I live. But I'm just glad it went around my town and is currently weakened as of now. Hope you and your sisters and animals are doing ok now.

Even though a little late here follow these instructions for the future.

This is the time right now to plan what to do for a tornado and make sure you have a NOAA weather alert radio The radios can alert you when a tornado warning is issued at night while sleeping.

A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop and you should pay close attention to the weather. A watch it typically issued with in 2-3 hours of the event.

When a tornado warning is issued that means doppler radar has detected rotation in a storm or trained spotters have spotted a rotating wall cloud, funnel cloud, or a tornado on the ground.

If a tornado warning is issued for your area, do not panic. Go to a place of safety. Go to the lowest floor of your house like the basement. Once in the basement get under a sturdy piece of furniture or go into a bathroom in the basement. If no basement is available go in to an interior room such as a closet. If that is not available go in to an bathroom without windows. Stay away from outside walls and windows. Cover your head to protect from flying debris. Never try to out run a tornado in a car, if cought in a car and can not take no place of safety, lay down in a ditch and cover your head. Do not take cover under a over pass. Do not stay in mobile homes as they do not offer protection and can be flown as easily as cars can.

Stay calm worry about your self not the horse. Go to a basement with blankets over your head. If you don't have a basement go to the smallest room in the house with your animals (make sure there are no windows in the room or glass) and thats what you should do.

        The tornado could go away soon before it hits your house
