  1. get out of the car and run for your life..  


  2. panic.

  3. Pull over, get out of the car, find the lowest possible place that I can fit my body and dig my fingers into the ground as deeply as possible to anchor me.

    If there is an overpass, I might go for hiding under that.

  4. step 1-Get out of the car

    step 2-scream and run around in circles

    just kidding.

    Get out of the car and head for shelter, Such as a ditch like the person said above me. Lay down as flat as you can and put your hands over your head and wait for the tornado to pass.

  5. Take a left turn into the cornfield next to me, pull back on the road going the other way, and turn at the next road so I'm going at a right angle to the storm.

  6. dont try to run from it get out of the car and go to a ditch

  7. What you should do is get out of the car(doesn't matter where you are) and find the lowest place near you. NEVER go under an overpass because you will get sucked out.

    If there is a ditch near you make sure you get into it and cover your head so the hail does not hurt you.

    Even if you are in the ditch it doesn't guarantee that you won't get sucked you but the debris form the tornado will pass over your head if  your in a ditch. Just don't stay in the car and don't go under an overpass!

  8. Well I'd keep driving forward and get caught in the wind and think to myself "man this blows" then I'd get thrown in the air, but I'd be fine because the sky's the limit. Then I'd start to slow down and think "man air resisitance is such a drag". Afterwards I'd slam into the ground cause I'm a down to earth kind of guy and then I would truelly understand the gravity of the situation. Then I would think about the physics of the situation and remember that there are more forces than Normal at work here. If my car still worked I'd start to drive away and check my mirror to see the tornado so that I could reflect on the situation.  

  9. i m not so sure about wat to do because i living in singapore as here don't have any violent storms. as logical thinking, i would have stop the car, make a u-turn and drive away as fast as you can so as to put a distance between the tornado and you. i believe as i still can make the decision to decide to escape rather than pray for the tornado not to cross your path since it is so close to you, may as well try my best to escape and put a distance.

  10. unbuckle your safety belt, get into a crouch, put your head between your legs, and kiss your asssss goodbye.

    actually, if it's still a mile away. pull over for a moment, determine which direction it's going, and go the other way.... if it's coming right at you, then turn at a 90 degree to it and drive up wind and away. it's not too difficult to get away from a tornado that's still a mile away.. it's when it's closer is when the problems start...
