    1. Get a NOAA weather radio (http://goo.gl/80raFg) and put charged backup batteries inside it. We use Sanyo Eneloop (http://goo.gl/8BUE0Y) rechargeable batteries.

    A weather radio is always a wise investment in severe weather safety. (Click the pic to get your own.)

    2. Develop a disaster plan for you and your family.

    3. Identify a safe place for you to take storm shelter.

    4. Know the county in which you are visiting, so that you can get accurate weather information.

    5. It only takes two feet of water to float away most cars. Do not drive into a flooded area.

    6. Respect severe thunderstorm winds, as they can reach speeds of 100 to 150 MPH (faster than some hurricanes).

    7. 30/30 Rule – if the time between lightning strikes and thunder is less than 30 seconds, you need to take shelter.

    8. Do not try to outrun a tornado in a vehicle; instead you should take shelter immediately.

    9. If caught outside during a tornado, lie flat on the ground and cover your head with your hands – most deaths and injuries during a tornado are caused by flying debris.

    10. No place is totally safe during a tornado, but your best option is usually underground.
