National Weather Service urges Wisconsinites to 'Know Where to Go' during severe weather
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – With severe weather potentially coming through the area, the US National Weather Service is helping Wisconsinites 'Know Where to Go' should a tornado arise.
According to a release from the US National Weather Service Green Bay, severe thunderstorms could possibly be coming through the area Thursday afternoon and evening, bringing with them possible tornadoes, large hail, and strong winds.

Officials say the public should plan ahead in case members of the community find themselves face to face with the server weather in various situations.
If someone is home and a tornado is nearby, the suggested action to take is to grab an emergency supply kit and head to the basement of the home. If the home does not have a basement, residents should move to an interior room with no windows.
The NWS says not to go into rooms near the top or the exterior of the home. They add that no place outside is safe from a tornado.
If drivers out on the roadways are faced with a tornado, officials suggest quickly getting to a designated shelter, basement, or saferoom. The next best thing to do is to find a small, windowless room or hallway on the lowest floor of a nearby sturdy building.
The NWS reports that drivers should never seek refuge outside, under an overpass, or under a tree, as that could put someone at a greater risk of being seriously injured or killed.

If drivers are unable to get to a shelter, officials say to stay in the car with a seatbelt on and to keep their head under the windows. Drivers can also look to find a ditch lower than the roadway to lie in, but should use their hands to cover their head in either case.
