Severe weather events are more dangerous at night when severe weather is difficult to spot and when people are sleeping. We encourage you to have several ways to get warnings overnight. Make sure your cellphone is charged and the volume is up so you can hear it if a warning is issued. Prepare now for what to do in the event of severe weather.
