What to do if you're driving during a tornado

Though there are some miraculous stories of people surviving tornadoes, the best survival technique is to stay far away from a twister. If you're inside: Avoid windows and go to an interior room on the lowest floor. If you have any helmets around (bike, motorcycle, football, baseball), wear one. The CDC calls a car or bus the "least desirable place to be in a tornado"; some twisters' winds can reach more than 300 mph and have no trouble tossing cars like toys. But don't get out of the car and don't park under an overpass, advises the National Weather Service. If you see a tornado while you're driving, seek shelter at a truck stop, convenience store, restaurant or other business.
