Si un avertissement d'orage violent est émis pour votre région, vous devez passer à l'action car des conditions météorologiques particulièrement mauvaises sont en train de se produire ou vont probablement se produire. De violents orages peuvent aussi provoquer des tornades. Votre priorité absolue est de trouver un refuge. Si des vents violents se lèvent, allez au sous-sol ou dans une petite pièce à l'intérieur de la maison. Tenez-vous éloignés des fenêtres et évitez les bâtiments dotés de vastes toitures en porte-à-faux comme les patinoires, les supermarchés, les gymnases ou les granges. 4, record 1, French, - avertissement%20d%27orage%20violent
