Neither rain, nor ice, nor
sleet
or snow, Elders and Sisters must teach what they know!
Oklahoma has many
seasons. Sun, snow, rain, ice, hail, and humidity. Sometimes all in one
month.

Tornado Safety ![]( http://www.mission.net/oklahoma/oklahoma-city/images/Tornado-02-june.gif)
As missionaries you will need to rely on members and
your mission leaders to inform you of the possibility of severe storms.
Most importantly, follow the Holy Spirit and use common since in severe weather
conditions.
"Though tornadoes can strike in an instant, there are precautions and
preventative measures that people can take to increase the chances of surviving
a tornado. Authorities such as the Storm Prediction
Center advise having a tornado plan. When a tornado warning is issued, going
to a basement or an interior first-floor room of a sturdy building greatly
increases chances of survival. In tornado-prone areas, many buildings
have storm cellars on the property. These underground refuges have
saved thousands of lives.
Some countries have meteorological agencies which distribute tornado
forecasts and increase levels of alert of a possible tornado (such as tornado
watches and warnings in theUnited States and
Canada). Weather radios provide an
alarm when a severe weather advisory is issued for the local area, though these
are mainly available only in the United
States.
Unless the tornado is far away and highly visible, meteorologists advise that
drivers park their vehicles far to the side of the road (so as not to block
emergency traffic), and find a sturdy shelter. If no sturdy shelter is nearby,
getting low in a ditch is the next best option. Highway overpasses are extremely
bad shelter during tornadoes." --Wikipedia
