On average, the National Weather Service issues 400 severe thunderstorm warnings, 17 tornado warnings, and about 150 flash flood warnings each year in New York state. During Severe Weather Awareness Week, we're reminded of the importance of practicing how to take shelter before tornadoes, thunderstorms, or flash floods strike. Severe weather can come with little or no warning, and cause serious injury, damage, and disruptions. While you can't control the weather, you can plan ahead so that you're not caught off guard.
