From AlertDC:

“The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch for the District of Columbia until 12 AM Friday, November 1, 2019.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS

TAKE COVER NOW! Move to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Avoid windows. If you are outdoors, in a mobile home, or in a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris.

Motorists should not take shelter under highway overpasses. If you cannot safely drive away from the tornado, as a last resort, either park your vehicle and stay put, or abandon your vehicle and lie down in a low lying area and protect yourself from flying debris.”
