Tornado Drills Issued Statewide This Morning

A statewide tornado drill was issued at 9 AM this morning. Following the recent deadly tornadoes that devastated Tennessee, state leaders wanted to make sure we would be prepared in case of a similar situation. Public schools, state and local emergency management offices, the South Carolina Broadcasters Association and more participated. As an added reminder, in the event of a tornado, you should get to the lowest level possible and take cover away from windows and doors. On average, South Carolina experiences eleven tornadoes a year.
