For those of us who are long-time residents of the Omaha-Council Bluffs area, we know that warmer temperatures in spring can bring extreme weather, including thunderstorms and tornadoes. Just in the last couple of weeks, major storm systems have moved across this region, producing numerous deadly and tragic tornadoes across the country.
Most of us know that in severe weather, we should seek shelter indoors, ideally in basements and storm cellars. But what happens if you’re on the road when bad weather sets in? The most important safe-driving practice in stormy weather is to simply avoid driving and take shelter to wait out the storm. Of course, sometimes that isn’t a viable possibility, and in the event that you have to be on the road, there are some important travel safety tips to keep in mind for driving in a thunderstorm or even a tornado.
As accustomed as we might be to severe and extreme weather patterns in the Midwest, strong thunderstorms and tornadoes over the last couple of weeks are a good reminder that we should always take seriously warnings about dangerous weather. This spring and summer, keep your loved ones safe by following some basic precautionary measures.
