Sadly, this week, there were many deaths in Georgia caused by tornadoes. If you're driving and you see a tornado, what should you do? The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or NOAA, recommends that if you see a tornado in the distance, change directions and drive at a right angle away from the tornado to a sturdy shelter. NOOA recommends, truck stops, convenient, stores or restaurants, as a place to seek shelter. When you're inside, go to the basement or a hallway without windows. Noah also recommends, that if you cannot find shelter, do not park under a highway overpass. If you must remain in your car, keep your seatbelt on, get your head below the windshield and windows. Cover your head with your floor mats, or your hands, or a blanket, if you have one.
