abcnews.comI don’t have real-time access to live weather alerts right now, but I can help you check current tornado warnings and how to stay safe.
What you can do now
- Check the National Weather Service (NWS) official site or your local forecast office for the most up-to-date warnings and radar: look up NWS alerts for your area (e.g., NWS radar and warnings for New Jersey) and the Weather.gov page for your local county or city.
- Use trusted local news stations or their apps for continuous live updates and any actionable guidance.
- If you’re outdoors or traveling, monitor a battery-powered radio or a mobile device with alerts enabled, so you get immediate warnings.
Safety tips if a warning is in effect
- Take shelter immediately in a sturdy building, ideally in a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows.
- If you’re in a vehicle, avoid driving through floodwaters or under overpasses; seek shelter in a sturdy building if possible.
- Have a go-bag ready with water, medications, a flashlight, and a charged phone; keep a family communication plan.
