However, one or two of these funnels may briefly touch down and can become destructive over a very small area. Treat all funnel clouds and tornadoes seriously and avoid when possible.
Should one develop overhead take shelter until it dissipates.
Remember these funnel clouds will normally appear with little or no warning.
