This area is entering a period of the year when the most violent winds are likely to strike. The McHenry Civil Defense cautions residents to be alert for danger signals and be ready to talis immediate safety steps. Tornados may occur at any time of the year but are more frequent during the months of April, May and June. There ware last year 117 deaths due to tornados. Of these, Illinois had over one-half with fiftynine. The Weather Bureau considers the area around Chicago the highest risk area for tornado casualties. This is due to the population density. The Weather Bureau issues weather and tornado watches arid warnings When conditions exist. These are released to the radio stations and the Illinois State Police. The radio and T.V. Stations broadcast this information and the State PoUce fan out the information to the sheriff offices, who in turn notify the city police departments. The warning point in McHenry is under the control of Richard Clark,, chief of police. A plan is now in effect to-jfeceive and fan out this weather information to schools, hospitals and industry along with certain key city officials. When a severe weather watch is issued by the Weather Bureau it means that the people may continue to do their normal work but watch the skies for worsening weather. When a warning Is issued it m?ans that the public must take immediate action to seek shelter. John J. Shay, director of McHenry Civil Defense, stated that at present McHenry has one outdoor warning device. This is the siren at Station One of the McHenry Township fire district. The national 'take cover* signal for tornados is a threeipinute blast of the siren. At © warning point in NfcHenry om the time a report of severe weather is received all radio frequencies are monitored and weather watches will be feeding in the necessary information. The outdoor information warning signal will be activated only if a tornado has been sighted and is moving in this direction. Chief of PoUce Richard Clark stated that under no circumstances should the public phone the police department except to report an emergency or the actual sighting of a tornado. No weather information will be given. The public should have a battery operated radio on hand and keep tuned to it for weather information. It will also be necessary to receive the all clear o/er the radio as there is no all clear signal. If any person desires additional information or would like to volunteer for the weather watch service they may contact the civil defense director at 385-7700 or write McHenry Defense, P.O. Box 114, McHenry. COURT BRIEFS Hie charge ^ against Lowell Halcom for driving while intoxicated was transferred to Branch I court for trial on April 25.
