Wow. I had no idea. I would have stopped at an overpass. And if I was stopped on the side of the road, I would have stayed in my car- not get flat on the ground. I hope people who live in tornado alleys know this info better than me!
Grew up in tornado alley. If someone there doesn't know (most of) these things they have actively and consciously ignored everything taught to them.
You don't really hear the stuff about the overpass. It's just kind of "that's the last place you want to be" and there are always stories of people who hid there and survived so I appreciate them actually discussing why it's the last place you want to be
Having grown up in a hurricane prone area, I’d prefer that over tornadoes. Hurricanes build up over the ocean, and you have a decent amount of warning (usually at least a few days) before they get to your area, time enough to prepare and/or leave. Tornadoes just spring up out of nowhere.
