Severe Weather Preparedness with WAVY News Weather
Now, let's talk about something incredibly important: severe weather preparedness. Living in Hampton Roads, we know that severe weather isn't just a possibility; it's a reality we need to be ready for. WAVY News Weather takes this responsibility very seriously, and we want to ensure you and your loved ones are as safe as possible when storms threaten. This means understanding the different types of severe weather we can experience, from powerful thunderstorms with high winds and hail, to the more significant threats like hurricanes and tropical storms that can impact our coast.
When a severe thunderstorm watch or warning is issued, it’s crucial to stay informed. This means having multiple ways to receive alerts, such as through your smartphone, weather radio, and of course, staying tuned to WAVY News Weather on-air and online. Know the difference between a watch (conditions are favorable for severe weather) and a warning (severe weather is imminent or occurring). During severe thunderstorms, be aware of the risks of lightning, strong winds that can cause damage, and the potential for flash flooding, especially in low-lying areas. Taking shelter indoors, away from windows, is always the safest bet.
For our coastal communities, hurricane season is a major concern. WAVY News Weather provides in-depth coverage throughout the season, tracking storms from their inception, forecasting their paths, and explaining the potential impacts. If a hurricane or tropical storm is threatening our area, it's vital to have a personal evacuation plan in place. This includes knowing your evacuation zone, having a designated safe place to go, and preparing a disaster kit with essentials like water, non-perishable food, medications, a first-aid kit, and important documents. We also encourage you to secure your homes by boarding up windows and bringing in outdoor objects that could become projectiles in high winds.
WAVY News Weather is dedicated to providing you with the most accurate and timely information during these critical events. We work closely with emergency management officials to bring you the most up-to-date guidance. Remember, preparedness is key.

Your safety is our top priority, and by staying informed and prepared with WAVY News Weather, you can face severe weather with greater confidence and security.
