Travel with another car if possible. Make sure someone knows where you are going, when you leave, the time you expect to arrive, and your expected route. Always fill your gas tank before leaving, even for short distances. Carry an emergency kit. Never attempt to drive during a hurricane or until the all-clear is given after the storm.
Flash flooding can occur after a hurricane has passed.
Avoid driving on coastal and low-lying roads. Storm surge and hurricane-caused flooding are erratic and may occur with little or no warning. Do not try to stay with your car under these conditions. Never attempt to drive through water on a road. Water can be deeper than it appears, and water levels can rise very quickly.
