We kick off Severe Weather Awareness Week with the focus on Tornadoes. As most know, tornadoes can spin up quickly and do damage just as fast. The sporadic nature of tornadoes makes them one of the most dangerous and life-threatening weather phenomena that occur in southern Louisiana.

It is extremely important to stay alert on days that tornadoes are a threat and always make sure to keep weather notifications turned ON! The free Storm Station app, downloadable HERE, is able to send any severe weather alerts straight to your phone in a timely manner.  

The Storm Station is here for you, on every platform. Your weather updates can be found on News 2, wbrz.com, and the WBRZ WX App on your Apple or Android device. Follow WBRZ Weather on Facebook and Twitter for even more weather updates while you are on the go.
