How to Keep Your Space Safe With Emergency Light During Tornado Season

Tornado season in the United States is a force of nature that demands respect and preparation. From March to June, approximately 70% of all tornadoes strike nationwide, with regional variations in timing and intensity. The central U.S. (including "Tornado Alley") faces peak activity from April to June.

While tools like the MyOncor App allow you to report outages quickly, proactive preparation is the key to surviving tornado season safely. Investing in emergency lighting fixtures ensures your property remains functional and secure, even when the grid fails. Here’s how to fortify your space before the next storm hits.

Install impact-resistant windows to block debris and prevent structural breaches during high winds.

Inspect and reinforce roof integrity; replace loose shingles to avoid water damage and collapses.

Strengthen garage doors with braces or heavy-duty materials to resist wind pressure and entry.

Add battery emergency lights for visibility during prolonged power outages.
