The remnants of Ida have the potential to bring another chance of tornadoes to parts of the tri-state area. Tornado watches have been posted across the region, and these storms have already spurred tornado warnings in New Jersey with reports of damage.

News 12 will continue to monitor the tornado and flood potential throughout the day. Watch News 12, stay with News12.com and download the News 12 app to stay safe, stay informed and stay ahead of the storm. 

1.) Be weather aware. Check your News 12 forecast to stay informed about when the threat of severe weather is approaching. Download the News 12 app for alerts right to your phone, including when tornado watches and warnings are issued.

2.) If a tornado warning is issued for your area, take shelter immediately. Do not wait to see or hear the twister approach. No outside location is safe from a tornado.

3.) Have a family plan in place, including a meeting spot.

4.) Head to the lowest floor of your home or building - preferably a basement. Top-floor rooms could be dangerous.

5.) If you don't have a basement, go to an interior room with no windows.

6.) Bring your emergency supply kit (or store it in the safest area to shelter in your home, so that it's already there in the event of a tornado warning).

7.) If you're driving, head to the nearest shelter. It's always preferable to take shelter indoors - vehicles may not be able to protect you and no place outside is safe from a tornado. If you're in a remote location without indoor options, it may be advisable to burrow in a ditch.

8.) After a tornado strikes, it's important to stay informed. Keep on top of any weather alerts as there could be additional thunderstorms or tornadoes.
