On émet une veille d'orage violent pour identifier aussi tôt que possible les grandes régions menacées. La veille est généralement émise avant qu'un orage ne se forme. Les personnes vivant dans les secteurs visés devraient surveiller le ciel pour la venue de l'orage et rester à l'écoute de la mise à jour des veilles toute la journée. Fixez ou mettez à l'abri les objets extérieurs non attachés, fermez les fenêtres, les portes de garage et de grange, et mettez les animaux à l'abri. Écoutez attentivement les bulletins météorologiques. N'oubliez pas que des tornades peuvent se produire pendant un orage violent. 3, record 1, French, - veille%20d%27orage%20violent
