The tornado season for this fall is approaching very quickly. The National Weather Service says tornadoes have caused the loss of many lives and they have destroyed many homes during the fall in our region.
Christine Wielgos with the National Weather Service in Paducah says one thing they stress is for people to stay informed and updated about the weather. She says that many people do not realize how common tornados in the fall. "Most of the tornadoes do occur in April and May when you would expect them them to, but we do see an increase in tornadoes from September to November and January to March"
Wielgos says that during the fall, the transition of faster winds and cooler weather can cause strong storms to occur increasing he likelihood of tornadoes. She suggests people get a weather alert radio and be cautious.
