Explanation:
RICHMOND With strong to severe weather impacting the state of Virginia, Richmond city officials are reminding residents to take precautions in case of Tornado Warnings.

if you are at home during a tornado:
- Go to a windowless interior room on lowest level of your house. Go to a storm cellar or basement if your house has one. If there is no basement, go to an inner hallway or a smaller inner room without windows, such as a bathroom or closet.
- Get away from the windows.

- Use your arms to protect head and neck.
