participating in drill<br />
<strong>March</strong> 3 – 9 2013 was Severe Weather <strong>Aware</strong>ness Week. The state <strong>of</strong><br />
North Carolina observed a state-wide tornado drill on Wednesday,<br />
<strong>March</strong> 6 at 9:30 a.m. All schools in the <strong>Public</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Robeson</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
participated.<br />
The week is our annual reminder that spring weather is on the way, and<br />
with it, an enhanced chance for severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.<br />
While twisters can happen any time <strong>of</strong> the year, spring and fall tend to<br />
have the greatest number <strong>of</strong> severe storms due to the more dramatic<br />
differences in colliding air masses.<br />
The statewide tornado drill helps state residents and employees to think<br />
about where you would go in case a tornado warning was issued for<br />
your home, school, or place <strong>of</strong> employment. In fact, it’s a good idea to<br />
think about it anywhere you are, even the mall, a ball game, or a movie<br />
theater. The safest place to be is in a sturdy building, in the lowest<br />
interior room or basement and away from windows. Even without a<br />
direct hit, a tornado can throw debris through windows scattering glass<br />
and potentially causing injury. If there is not a sturdy building nearby,<br />
you want to go to the lowest lying area you can find and lie face down<br />
with your hands covering your head and neck as much as possible.<br />
