Tornadoes can change direction quickly and can lift up a car or truck and toss it through the air.
Get out of the car immediately and take shelter in a nearby building. If there is no time to get indoors, get out of the car and lie in a ditch or low-lying area away from the vehicle. Be aware of the potential for flooding. Tornadoes are some of the most terrifying of weather phenomenon. Tornadoes are also deadly, killing an average of 42 people in the U.S. each year.
