This is a last resort if no other shelter is available. They idea is to get as low as possible, to minimize your exposure to the extreme winds. The sides of the ditch may offer some protection from debris.

If you cannot find a ditch it is suggested to get out of your car and lay under the vehichle in such a manner that if the car would roll either direction the car would not roll on top of you and the car would protect you from debris that is carried by the strong winds.
