<\/b>Go to your basement or the lowest point of your residence. If an underground shelter is not available, move to a small interior room or hallway on the lowest floor and get under a sturdy piece of furniture.
Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside.
Stay away from windows.
Get out of automobiles.
Do not try to outrun a tornado in your car; leave it immediately for safe shelter.
If you cannot find shelter, take cover in a ditch or other recessed area and cover your head with your hands. Do NOT take cover under an overpass or bridge.
Be aware of flying debris.
Mobile homes offer little protection from tornadoes. Leave a mobile home and go to the lowest floor of a nearby building or storm shelter.
Avoid places with wide-span roofs, such as auditoriums, cafeterias, large hallways, or shopping malls.<\/p>\n
