Winds in some storms can pick up a car and toss it great distances. Extra precautions are needed in schools, hospitals, nursing homes and office buildings. There is a large concentration of people in a small area, but these buildings usually have a large amount of glass on outside walls. Get into the innermost portions of the lowest floor possible. Avoid windows, glass doorways, auditoriums and cafeterias that are not protected by overhead floors and rooms.
Restrooms are excellent storm shelters.
Do not use elevators, the power could go off and you could be trapped. Protect your head and make yourself as small a target as possible by crouching down. Remember, the weather warnings are broadcast before the storms arrive. It begins when the weather indicates the possibility of severe weather. You are responsible for preparing and protecting yourself and your family.
