How to Deal with a Tornado

Shelter

• Seek inside shelter if possible. If in the open, move away from a tornado’s path at a right angle.
• Never hide under an overpass.
• Get out of your vehicle and go to a low spot such as a ditch and lie flat, cover your head with your hands and lie face down.
• Get away from trees and cars as they can be blown into you.
• If you have livestock open gates and let them run. They can sense impending tornados.
• On the farm seek shelter in a very sturdy building.
