鈥淎 lot of these storms might not always look overly menacing, but in behind these rain curtains you can have risks of tornadoes and large hail that you can't see ahead of it," she explained. "So, I recommend that people who are out watching these storms to just kind of stick back a little bit from them, so they can stay safe.鈥澨
