With the unusual amount of tor- nado activity in Pennsylvania this summer, Luzerne County Emer- gency Management Agency wants county residents to know what to do in case of a tornado alert. A tornado is one of nature’s most destructive forces. As many resi- dents of Northwestern and Central Pennsylvania can attest, it gives little or no warning as it sweeps down from the sky, destroying everything in its path. * The National Weather Service will issue a ‘“Tornado Watch” if climatic conditions are such that tornadoes are possible. People in the affected area may proceed with their cus- tomary routines, but they should watch for threatening weather and listen to their radio for updated weather information. “Tornado Warnings” are issued ‘by the National Weather Service when a tornado actually has been sighted on radar or by a group spotter in the vicinity. When warn- ing is received, persons close to the storm should take cover immedi- ately. Because of the erratic nature of tornadoes, there is often very little time. : {At home, residents should go to - the basement or to an interior room on the lowest level. Stay away from windows. If possible, grab a mat- tress or heavy blanket to protect ‘yourself from flying debris. Grossman { qualifications established by the | Venture Capital Fund. Clearly, Northeastern Pennsyl- ~~. vania’s economy is based on small ‘and medium sized businesses, + rather than on ‘Fortune 500°’ major . firms who have chosen to locate in other parts of the country. Although . some of these firms have branches in Northeastern Pennsylvania, for . the most part, it is the small and . medium-sized businesses who are : adding jobs to Northeastern Penn- ' sylvania’s landscape, more so than : any other factor. | As far as public service institu- tions and government are con- , cerned, Pennsylvania enjoys the * reputation of having more local + governments than any other state ~ ! except Illinois. Our public service, + non-profit institutions encompas the regional landscape and provide all the services which are generally accepted in major metropolitan areas, and if such a service is not ‘available within the region, it is usually available close by in a nearby metropolitan area. Northeastern Pennsylvania is the right size metropolitan area to accommodate growth in the future. ~ While this is not a new factor, recognition that the region is a opolitan area of significance has the ability to innovate dcontinue to be entrepreneurial in « its economic base needs to be publi- | cized and promoted. "(Howard Grossman is the execu- tive director of the Economic Devel- opment Council of Northeastern Pennsylvania. His column appears periodically in The Dallas Post.) ow -e PTE WOW my ww ome If you are driving in a vehicle when the warning sounds, or reside in a mobile home, leave them and go to the nearest shelter. If none is nearby, lie flat in the nearest distch or depression, shielding your head. Larger buildings, such as offices or schools, usually have pre-desig- nated shelter areas. Interior hall- ways on the lowest floor provide the best shelter. Shopping centers, with their large flat roofs, are quite danterous. It is better to leave such an.area and seek better shelter if possible. Tornadoes occur in any month, in all 50 of the United States. The largest number of twisters occur in the central plains, but Pennsylvania has had its share also. The first records tornado in Penn- sylvania occurred in Bradford County on Aug. 10, 1854. Since that time, more than 400 tornadoes have struck the commonwealth. The most destructive series of tornadoes to strike Pennsylvania occurred May 31 this year, when 65 persons died as five separate tracks of tornadoes swept through the state. Records show the frequency of tornado occurrance in Pennsylvania gradually builds to a peak in June. A summer plateau of activity is maintained through August, fol- lowed by an abrupt drop in fre- quency in the Autumn. LAST WEEK'S ANSWER / ¢ |7 T= 0 ” = 5 AF 5% 57 Rr ACROSS DOWN 1. Alexander ——— 1.
