This week is the National Severe Preparedness Week! In order to get you all ready for the storm season, I thought I would theme this week's blog posts as "Severe Weather". We will be starting off your Severe Preparedness Week with a myth buster about thunderstorms and tornadoes!

The Science: Atmospheric conditions dictate where, and how a storm will form and move. Tornadoes and Thunderstorms can move in ANY direction!
