What are some safety rules for tornadoes?
Several safety rules have helped people escape the deadly impact of tornadoes: As soon as a tornado warning is given, run to the nearest tornado cellar if possible. If you are in open country, move away from the tornado’s path at right angles. If you are in an automobile, you car easily outdistance a tornado if there is a clear road ahead. Remember tornadoes move forward at speeds of about 25 miles an hour. If you are on foot, and there is no time to escape, lie flat in the (nearest ditch or ravine. Almost anything is better than remaining directly in the open! If you are in a city, seek shelter inside, preferably in steel-reinforced buildings. Avoid auditoriums, gymnasiums, or other large halls with large, poorly supported roofs.
