Q1: Where are you calling from?
Q2: Has the hail done any significant damage?

Tell the caller...

• Stay inside until the hail stops.
• Stay away from windows, especially windows that are being hit by hail.
• Check to make sure that all family members, building occupants, pets, etc. are inside, but do not go outside for any reason. If you are hit in the head, you could be seriously injured, or even killed.
• Don't go outside to move anything (like cars, plants, etc.) to safety. If it's already hailing, it's too late.
• Unless you are calling from a cell phone, you need to hang up the phone now. Lightning can travel along phone lines and injure you.

NOTE: If the reported size is ¾" or greater, mark the location of the report on a map. Pass the report along to both the local Emergency Operations Center (or Emergency Manager), and the nearest National Weather Service office (as time permits).
