"We are trying to make people in Nebraska aware that tornado weather is coming," Taylor said. Last year, Nebraska had 34 tornado sighting, Taylor said. "It is very important that people arc aware of where they go and how to react during a tornado," she said. A state-wide tornado drill is scheduled for Wednesday, Taylor said. "Sirens will activate both outside and inside," she said. "We would like to have people go through the drill as if we were actually in a tornado watch." A tornado watch will be issued at 1 p.m. by the National Weather Service. The tornado warning will sound at about 1 :40 p.m. The bells on campus will sound for 3 to 5 minutes at three-second intervals. They will then sound briefly every minute every five minutes until all is cleared. Taylor said. "If there is a storm anywhere in the state on Wednesday, the drill will be cancelled," she said. The group would like to hear of any problems that occur during the drill, Taylor said. Signs should be posted inthe buildings telling where shelter areas are located. 1 rl n (A f TH R v-v J I J L D) .
