Beware of flying debris. If you're caught away from your home during a severe thunderstorm or tornado, a ditch offers protection from flying debris. But deep ditches can be deadly if a flash flood occurs, so pay close attention to developing conditions. If possible, remove lawn articles. Ordinary items such as lawn chairs can become deadly flying objects during high winds.
Early warning is the best protection.
I would like to see these required in schools and any place with a large concentration of people. For questions or information about this page, contact Kay Fike Jones .
