This Spring Is Forecast To Be The Most Active Tornado Season Georgia Has Seen In Years
With storms rolling through the south just this past week that produced baseball-sized hail, it leaves many residents wondering what to expect from the spring 2020 tornado season in Georgia. There have already been a few tornado outbreaks across the country, and now that we’re officially into spring, it’s best to be prepared as to what we should expect in the future. According to a few scientific calculations, some made by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), there is a 45% chance of an above-average tornado season throughout the country. Here is what to expect in Georgia…
Being in the southeast, unfortunately, means that Georgia is right in the crosshairs for tornadoes within the spring and summer season.
Georgia is no stranger to tornadoes, and while it might not be one of the states that are located within the famed Tornado Alley, there is still much we need to concern ourselves with and prepare for each tornado season.
Make sure to check your emergency supplies, which should include fresh batteries in flashlights and radios, water and food to last a few days, and implementing and discussing a plan with your family.
