Why nighttime tornadoes are so dangerous

According to a study, tornadoes that occur at night – when many people are asleep – are more than twice as likely to result in deaths than those that happen during the day.
Severe weather is possible in parts of the Midwest on Tuesday, and the threat will continue into the overnight hours. This includes a threat of nocturnal tornadoes. FOX Weather Meteorologist Britta Merwin provides some safety tips to help keep you safe and prepared.
