Complete preparation activities. If you are not advised to evacuate, stay indoors, away from windows. The worst part of the storm will happen once the eye passes over and the winds come from the opposite direction. Trees, shrubs, buildings, and other objects damaged by the first winds can be broken or destroyed by the second winds whose force is opposite the first winds. Be alert for tornadoes.
Tornadoes can happen during and after a hurricane passes over.
Remain indoors, in the center of your home, in a closet or bathroom without windows. Stay away from flood waters. If you come upon a flooded road, turn around and go another way. After a Hurricane Is Over Keep listening to NOAA Weather Radio or local radio or TV stations for instructions. If you evacuated, return home when local officials tell you it is safe to do so.
