Tornado Tips

And other Odds and Ends of Common Sense

If you really need someone to tell you that getting into a car, during a tornado that is ripping homes off their foundations is a bad idea, I dunno what to say.  Actually I take that back. I do.  A simple compiled list. 1) If you are not underground during a tornado, you are doing it wrong. 2) Snowstorms are cold. Wear warm clothing. 3) Tsunami's are big waves. If you are on the beach, you may be screwed. 4) Hurricanes have strong winds that knock stuff down, flood areas, and generally wreak havoc. Don't go outside. 5) If your town is flooded. You shouldn't be there. 6) The desert is hot. Alcohol is not water.  7) Ice breaks, don't walk on it. 8) Erupting volcano's spew Molten rock and ash. Run away. Fast. 9) Earthquakes can knock heavy things over and collapse buildings, Stand in a doorway, and..... Good luck. 10) Stop driving across flooded rivers. Seriously. There's always one of you in every bunch. Don't be that person. 11) Sinkholes are unpredictable. Good luck. 12) Finally.... if you lost everything, that sucks. Horribly. But if you are alive to complain about it, that's a win. Take it and smile. It could have been worse.
