GREENSBORO, N.C. — WFMY News 2 wants to make sure you stay safe and on top of the latest weather alerts as we're expecting severe weather.

One question viewers have been asking is where is a safe place to seek shelter during a tornado or tornado warning?

Tornadoes can be dangerous, so North Carolina Emergency Management advises that people take shelter in basements or storm shelters.

NC Emergency Management said if you are not able to find a basement, or storm shelter, find a room inside a home or building without windows.

If you get a tornado warning you should take shelter immediately, according to NC Emergency Management.
