An interior room or a room without windows is usually the safest. The wind will suddenly pick up again from the opposite direction and possibly with greater force than before. Stay inside a well-constructed building that is outside a flood zone. In structures, such as a home, examine the building and plan in advance what you will do if winds become strong.
Strong winds can produce deadly missiles and structural failure.
Take refuge in a small interior room, closet, or hallway. Take a battery-powered radio, TV or a NOAA Weather Radio, and a flashlight with you to your place of refuge. Keep a clear escape pat h in case of fire. Close all interior doors. Secure and brace external doors, particularly double inward opening doors and garage doors.
