Tornadoes are more scared of you than you are of them

Lots of rest areas out west have storm shelters. Even in the east if they dont have a storm shelter get inside the building get to middle of the room. If you are by an underpass get under that. Then storm sewer or ditch. Then worst casr scenerio either try out running it or get out and lay in open field away from trees.

Ive been through several of them over the years, including Katrina. Dont take no chances if you end up in one, find you a safe place to get. They can make a pretzel out of a truck. Katrina was a Hurricane, but theres no difference between the two when it comes to the damage they can cause.

Park and wait.

STAY AWAY FROM OVERPASSES. They speed up the local windflow, besides your one truck flipped over under the overpass just shuts down the road. There will be 908 cars & SUVS parked at the overpass, you'll never find one empty.

Ok. How exactly do I get out of the path without outrunning it? Could you give an exampleLast edited: Apr 28, 2016

Take out your shovel and dig a hole! Better dig quick before the tornado sucks you up!!!

Just pull under an overpass and Park keep in mind everyone else is going to want to do the same thing so make sure you're one of the first people to grab a good parking spot.
