From sight alone, it’s nearly impossible to tell how deep floodwaters are, especially at night. It doesn’t take much flood water to wash away people and vehicles. Your best option is to turn around and seek an alternate route! #iawx #SWAW

Elongated periods of heavy rain can create flash flooding, covering roadways and filling up low-lying areas. Will you be ready for flash flooding? #iawx #SWAW

Iowa is not unfamiliar with large, damaging hail. Did You Know - The largest hailstone recorded in the US measured 7.9” in Vivian, SD. A 3" hailstone can fall to the ground as fast as 107 mph! #SWAW #IAwx

To stay prepared it is important to consider how you receive severe weather alerts. Do you get emergency information on your phone? Through local TV and radio? Where would you get information if you were at home or work versus if you were in your car traveling? #IAwx #SWAW

Now that you practiced going to your safe place with the statewide drill, it is important to remember not wait until the day of the storm to start protecting yourself. If the forecast calls for severe weather, start preparing NOW. Stay #WeatherReady. #IAwx #SWAW #SWAW2026

It’s #SWAW tornado 🌪️ safety day! During a tornado warning, seek shelter immediately in a sturdy building, preferably a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows. Make a plan & always know where to go! https://t.co/LWlenTcQQ1 #ReadyIA

If you are at home, where do you go in the event of a tornado? The safest option is a basement. If you don't have one, go to the lowest floor in your home in a room with no windows or outside walls. (bathroom, stairwell, or closet) #iawx #WeatherReady #SWAW #TornadoSafety
