Tornado updates: At least 5 dead in Missouri as storms tear across US
Communities across the United States were on alert for tornadoes on Wednesday, as a major storm system sweeps through areas still reeling from devastating twisters.
abcnews.comI don’t have real-time weather alerts in this chat, but I can help you find the latest tornado watch/warning updates for your area.
What I can do now
- Provide up-to-the-minute sources to check: National Weather Service (NWS) and Environment Canada sites, plus trusted local media.
- Help you set up alerts on your phone (NWS mobile alerts, WeatherCAN in Canada) so you’re notified immediately if conditions worsen.
Where to look right now
- United States: National Weather Service tornado watch/warning page for your region; local NWS office Twitter/X feeds often post rapid updates.
- Canada: Environment Canada weather alerts page and WeatherCAN app for severe weather warnings.
- Local sources: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) or CTV Montreal weather updates for region-specific advisories.
Tips for staying safe
- If a tornado warning is issued, identify your safest room (basement or interior room with no windows) and have a helmet/rigid protection handy for children.
- Have a battery-powered radio, flashlight, and a plan to move to a sturdy interior shelter if you’re in a mobile home or lacking a basement.
- Prepare a small emergency kit with water, snacks, and medications to last at least 72 hours.
