When a Tornado Warning is issued, it means either a tornado has been spotted or radar is indicating a tornado is possible. Here's what to do to stay safe:

-
National Weather Service (NWS) California offices: check the NWS radar and warnings page for your area. They post current tornado warnings, watch boxes, and radar rotation updates. [web: NWS California]
-
Local TV stations often carry live feeds and continuous updates when a tornado warning is active in Northern or Central California. Look for channels like ABC10, CBS Sacramento, or ABC7 Bay Area for live coverage during severe weather events. [web: ABC10 coverage page][web: CBS Sacramento tornado alerts]

Tornado warning trackers and weather apps: reputable apps and websites (e.g., TornadoPath, Weather.gov alerts via mobile apps) can push real-time notifications for your location. [web: California Tornado Tracker]
If you’re in California right now:
- Immediately move to a small, interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows, and cover yourself with a sturdy piece of furniture or a mattress if you can.
- Monitor portable radio or smartphone alerts for the latest issued warning times and areas affected.
- Have a NOAA Weather Radio or a trusted weather app set to receive alerts for your specific county.
If you’d like, tell me your city or county in California and I can narrow down the most relevant live sources and the current warning status for that area.
