—————————————————————————————-
The National Weather Service in Birmingham has issued a tornado warning until 3:45 pm. for south central Marion County in northwest Alabama and north central Fayette County in west central Alabama.
At 3:28 p.m., local law enforcement reported a tornado near Gu-Win or near Winfield moving southeast at 5 mph. The tornado will be near Winfield by 3:45 pm.
The safest place to be during a tornado is in a basement. Get under a workbench or other piece of sturdy furniture. If no basement is available, seek shelter on the lowest floor of the building in an interior hallway or room such as a closet. Use blankets or pillows to cover your body and always stay away from windows.
If in mobile homes or vehicles, evacuate them and get inside a substantial shelter. If no shelter is available, lie flat in the nearest ditch or other low spot and cover your head with your hands.
To report severe weather, call 1-800-856-0758.
