Thousands of homes are destroyed. Whole buildings disappear and only their basements are left. No one can stop a tornado; but there are precautions you can take to safeguard lives. The peak tornado season in Illinois is generally recognized as beginning in late March and extending through June. There is little that can be done to avoid the property destruc tion tornadoes bring*; but tor nadoes do not have to be killers. You can take precautions when a storm threatens and thereby save lives. A tornado is a severe storm. The winds in a tornado usually turn counter-clo£flwise with wind speeds thgt^vary from under 100 milesper hour to approaching 300 miles per hour. Tornadoes do their destructive work through the combined action of their strong rotary winds and flying debris. Most tornadoes move from the (southwefct tO the northeast. Generally ̂ tornadoes occur in the spring in the late afternoon on a hot day. But remember, Reward energy renovation Under Secretary of Energy Pat Collins has announced the launching of a state-federal initiative to recognize in novators of unique conservation and renewable energy projects. Collins said, "the effort is part of the Technology Transfer '80s program which will spotlight unique conservation and renewable energy projects and then share these ideas with others. The technology transfer program is an initiative to en courage the sharing of energy- saving accomplishments and technologies." Application information for the awards program can be obtained from state energy offices in participating states. There will be three levels of awards in the recognition process. At the first level, the state will judge the submissions and the governors will make awards for innovative energy-saving projects within their states. Following that, Secretary of Energy Don Hodel will present certificates to state award winners who have been nominated for national awards. Some projects will be selected for special recognition. Under Secretary Collins said "projects will be judged on a number of factors including transferability, energy savings, economic impact, job creation, education and innovation. In short, we are looking for in novative projects that can be used by others to save energy or make more efficient use of the energy available." "We know there are many good ideas in the area of energy efficiency that are being generated by individuals and organizations around the country," Collins said. "We want to collect those ideas so we can share them with others and reward the innovators for their efforts." tornadoes can happen at any time. You'll have no trouble recognizing an actual tornado. Most tornadoes are funnel- shaped or rope-like clouds ex tending down from the base of a thunder cloud. As it touches earth, it writhes and twists throwing up debris in all directions. It is often ac companied by hail, violent thunderstorms and wind. Its noise is so loud it can blot out the sound of crashing buildings and falling trees. ot When the skies look threatening, listen to the radio. The National Weather Service tracks all weather systems with sophisticated radar and is usually able to give adequate advance warning of violent weather conditions. A tornado watch means the atmospheric conditions are such that tornadoes could develop. A tornado warning means an actual funnel has been sighted-in your area. Warnings are usually accompanied with a description of the speed and direction of travel of the funnel. Many communities have also arranged special warning systems such as sounding warning sirens. When a watch is issued, listen to broadcast advisories, be ready to take cover. It is wise to collect a battery-powered light and radio and have family members within earshot under watch conditions. Also, take your car keys; should a tornado hit your area, your car may still be operable-but keys could be lost in the rubble. When a tornado threatens, immediate action can save lives. Stay away from windows, doors, outside walls and protect your head. In homes or other small buildings go to the basement or a place in the middle of the house, like a closet, bathroom or interior hall. Get under something sturdy. In school, be calm and follow the directions of your teacher. Stay away from auditoriums and gymnasiums with wide, huge roofs that could collapse easily. In shopping centers or very large buildings look for a predesignated shelter. If there isn't any, a middle hallway on the lowest floor in the next best place to take shelter. In mobile homes or cars, l£ave them and find shelter in a building. If there is no shelter nearby, lie flat in the nearest ditch, ravine or culvert with your hands shielding your head.
