NOAA Weather Radio triggers tornado warnings Wednesday

When your weather radio starts broadcasting a tornado warning at 9:10 a.m. on Wednesday, listen closely because it is planned as a practice tornado drill.

The message that accompanies the warning signal will identify it as a practice drill.

The drill is part of Severe Weather Awareness Week in Georgia.

The National Oceanic and Atmopsheric Administration is encouraging schools, businesses and the public to use the drill to practice tornado safety plans.

The warning drill is planned to run from 9:10 to 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday.

In case of severe weather, the drill will be rescheduled for Friday, Feb. 6.
