Governor Bob McDonnell has proclaimed March 15 as Tornado Preparedness Day. All Virginians can practice taking cover from tornadoes by participating in the annual Statewide Tornado Drill, set for 9:45 a.m. The drill is sponsored by the Virginia Department of Emergency Management and the National Weather Service. To start the drill, the NWS will send a test tornado warning that will trigger a tone alert and broadcast message on NOAA Weather Radio, simulating what listeners will hear during an actual tornado warning. This will prompt radio and television stations to broadcast a tone and message. You can find more information concerning this drill at www.vaemergency.com.
