Telephone should not be used when there is lightning present. Leave one breaker on that operates a light. Eye of the Hurricane - Do not be fooled by the storm's calm eye which takes from several minutes to an hour to pass. Winds will blow suddenly in the opposite direction after the eye passes. The strongest winds are northeast of the eye.
Tornadoes often precede a hurricane.
If you are caught outside, move at right angles from the tornado. Lightning - If you are outside and your hair stands on end or your skin tingles, lightning may be about to strike you. Drop to the ground and bend forward with hands on knees. Radio - Listen to local radio stations. Remain indoors until local government officials announce it is safe.
