What should you do to protect yourself during a tornado flood or hurricane?
During a flood go to high ground or an upper floor of the building you are in. If you are driving and encounter flooded streets, turn around; don't drown. You cannot always tell how deep the water is or how strong the current is and it does not take much to wash a car away. The procedure for a hurricane is similar to that of a flood, as flooding is the main danger. Get to an upper story or a structure on high ground. Stay inside and avoid windows. If a tornado threatens get to a basement or storm cellar. If none is available get to an interior room or hall on the lowest floor of a sturdy house or building. Stay away from windows.
