15.This is Tornado and Severe Weather (龙卷风与恶劣天气) Awareness Week.It's important to know what to do and where to go during severe weather.A Wisconsin couple says an early warning could have been the difference between life and deathwhen a tornado hit last summer.Larry and Rita Krznarich were camping in northern Wisconsin last year.The day started off nice,but took a turn for the worse in the evening.So they turned on their weather radio.
"I turned the radio on and there was a specific warning:A storm is about to hit the Turtle-Flambeau.Take cover immediately,"says Larry Krznarich."I said to Rita,‘Head for the table.I'm going to warn the neighbors.'"
Larry joined Rita under the picnic table and within minutes a tornado hit.A falling tree hit Larry and broke his leg bone,but without the warning the couple says things could have been worse.
"The tent,where we may have been if not for the weather radio,was completely covered by trees; all of our things were completely covered,"says Rita Krznarich.
With spring here,people are being reminded to plan for severe weather.That includes buying a weather radio.
"The great thing about the weather radio is that it's instantaneous.It's directly from the weather service,so you're getting information at exactly the same time they're getting it,"says Tod Pritchard,Emergency Preparedness Coordinator.
Larry has recovered from his injuries and now the couple makes sure everyone they know has a weather radio.
"Ever since the storm,we've given weather radios as gifts to people.You can get them for $20so there's no excuse not to have one or a couple,"says Larry.
