SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS & LIGHTNING SAFETY TIPS:

Tune in to your radio to stay informed of approaching storms.

If you see a tornado or hear a tornado warning, don't try to outrun it.

Turn on your headlights (low beams) and slow down. Many states require the use of headlights during rain.

Allow extra distance for braking.

Do not drive unless necessary.

Pull safely onto the shoulder of the road away from any trees that could fall on the vehicle.

Stay in the car and turn on the emergency flashers until the heavy rains subside.

An automobile provides better insulation against lightning than being in the open.

Avoid contact with any metal conducting surfaces either inside your car or outside.

Avoid flooded roadways.

Avoid downed power lines.

Check your windshield wipers and tires regularly to insure that they are ready for severe weather.

Approach intersections with caution

Treat traffic lights at intersections as stop signs.
