The 10 Worst Things You Can Do During Severe Weather

[Uncle Joe]

15. In the movie "Superman" they broke rule #1

But there are 10 things you should absolutely never do during severe weather:

1. Shelter under a bridge during a tornado

Overpasses may visually appear like a safe haven from a tornado, but it's the opposite. Winds can actually blow even faster under the overpass than outside of it, says Dr. Greg Forbes, severe weather expert at The Weather Channel. It's a false sense of security and you should never do it. Instead, Forbes suggests getting into a nearby building, if possible. If that isn't an option and the roadways allow you to stop your car to wait for the tornado to pass, or drive away from it, consider those options as well, because all are better options than sitting under an overpass.

Thanks for the thread, malaise.
