The National Weather Service in Memphis, Tennessee, has issued a warning about sheltering during tornadoes. They emphasize that mobile homes, vehicles, and highway overpasses are among the worst options for safety.

Officials recommend seeking ‘Good’ or ‘Best’ options to protect yourself before and during severe weather. These include sturdy buildings with a basement or interior room away from windows.

The message aims to educate residents on safer alternatives and encourage preparedness as part of the #MSSWPW2026 campaign.
