Fannin's Tornado Record Is Worth Reading Before Storm Season

The National Weather Service turns Fannin's tornado history into graphs by year, month, rating, and strength. The record shows what has happened across the county. It cannot tell you what will happen at one address.

For a house or rental, find a small room on the lowest floor and away from windows before a warning begins. Ask if the property has a shelter and how everyone would reach it at night.

The county also uses CodeRED to send phone messages about severe weather and other emergencies. Sign-up alerts are a useful backup to phone warnings and local weather reports, but no single alert should be your whole plan.
