Another thunderstorm exhibiting rotation was indicated near Urania... also moving northeast at 40 mph. This storm will affect the Olla community by 8 PM.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

If in Mobile homes or vehicles... evacuate them and get inside a sturdy shelter. If no shelter is available... lie flat in the nearest ditch or other low spot and cover your head with your hands.

Heavy rainfall may obscure this tornado. Take cover now! If you wait to see or hear it coming... it may be too late to get to a safe place.
