Summer brings warm weather and long days, but it also brings something less fun: severe weather. It’s severe weather season, and according to a new report, Americans are not prepared.
A recent survey found that 82% of Americans don’t own a weather radio, and many turn to Google when they want to find out about weather events in their region.
In Arizona the most commonly searched severe weather question is: “what to do if you are outside during a tornado?”
Arizona residents are not alone in having questions about tornadoes – 1 in 4 Americans don’t know the difference between a tornado watch and a warning.
The other most common severe weather questions nationwide include “when is hurricane season?” and “what causes earthquakes?”
