AT 451 PM PDT...TRAINED WEATHER SPOTTERS REPORTED A FUNNEL CLOUD OVER THE 215 FREEWAY BETWEEN MARCH FIELD AND PERRIS...MOVING SOUTH AT 15 MPH. THIS STORM HAS A HISTORY OF PRODUCING TORNADOES. OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE WARNING INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO HOMELAND... ROMOLAND...SUN CITY...QUAIL VALLEY... WINCHESTER AND CANYON LAKE
DO NOT USE HIGHWAY OVERPASSES FOR SHELTER. OVERPASSES DO NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION FROM TORNADIC WINDS. VEHICLES STOPPED UNDER BRIDGES BLOCK TRAFFIC AND PREVENT PEOPLE FROM GETTING OUT OF THE STORM'S PATH AND TO SHELTER. IF YOU CANNOT DRIVE AWAY FROM THE TORNADO...GET OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE AND LIE FLAT IN A DITCH AS A LAST RESORT. THE SAFEST PLACE TO BE DURING A TORNADO IS IN A BASEMENT. GET UNDER A WORKBENCH OR OTHER PIECE OF STURDY FURNITURE. IF NO BASEMENT IS AVAILABLE...SEEK SHELTER ON THE LOWEST FLOOR OF THE BUILDING IN AN INTERIOR HALLWAY OR ROOM SUCH AS A CLOSET. USE BLANKETS OR PILLOWS TO COVER YOUR BODY AND ALWAYS STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS.
IF IN MOBILE HOMES OR VEHICLES... EVACUATE THEM AND GET INSIDE A SUBSTANTIAL SHELTER. IF NO SHELTER IS AVAILABLE...LIE FLAT IN THE NEAREST DITCH OR OTHER LOW SPOT AND COVER YOUR HEAD WITH YOUR HANDS.
