Alabamians Urged to Review Weather Safety Rules as Spring Nears

This week has been proclaimed severe weather awareness week in Alabama by Gov. Bob Riley

National Weather Service meteorologists say Alabama has two distinct tornado seasons — one in the spring — March through May — and the other in late fall — November to December.

Alabamians are being urged to review tornado safety guidelines in the event of severe weather hazards.

Weather officials conducted a special weekly radio test message on Wednesday to highlight preparedness and safety precautions concerning twisters. On Thursday, they discussed flooding and flash flooding.
