Trees, shrubs, buildings, and other objects damaged by the first winds can be broken or destroyed by the second winds. Watch out for flooding. If you come upon a flooded road, turn around and go another way. If you are caught on a flooded road and waters are rising rapidly around you, get out of the car and climb to higher ground. Be alert for tornadoes.
Tornadoes can happen during a hurricane and after it passes over.
Remain indoors, in the center of your home, in a closet or bathroom without windows. Special Precautions for Mobile Homes Mobile homes are particularly vulnerable to hurricane-force winds. Anchor the mobile home with over-the top or frame ties. When a hurricane threatens, do what you can to secure your home, and then take refuge with friends or relatives or at a public shelter. Remove mirrors and tape them.
