Kalamazoo thunderstorms can be dangerous, they can produce lightning, hail, strong winds, flash floods, and tornadoes.  Follow these safety measures and general tips to help you prepare in case of an emergency.

Do the Following:

• Prepare your home by shuttering windows and doors, and unplugging sensitive electronics
• Prepare your property by removing damaged tree branches that could fall during a storm, and bringing outdoor objects inside
• Watch the sky and tune in to your Weather Radio for information
• Learn to recognize emergency alerts. A "severe thunderstorm watch" means stormy conditions are likely to occur. A "severe thunderstorm warning" means they exist somewhere in the area.
