Floods, on average, kill more than 100 people and are responsible for
$4.6 billion in damage in the United States each year. More than half of
those deaths occur in vehicles overtaken by floodwaters. This is a life
saving campaign by NOAA to get us to remember to not drive through flood
waters, but turn around and don't drown.

Part of the Tornado Tim safety campaign designed to remind you that
you should never try to outrun a tornado. It is hard to know what
direction to drive away from a tornado. You may end up driving right
into it's path, so never try to outrun one. Think safety when a tornado approaches, your
life may depend on it. 800 x 600

Tornado Tim reminds you that
in the United States, an average of 67 people are killed each year by
lightning. That's more than the annual number of people killed by
tornadoes or hurricanes. Many more are struck but survive. However, they
often report a variety of long-term, debilitating symptoms, including
memory loss, attention deficits, sleep disorders, numbness, dizziness,
stiffness in joints, irritability, fatigue, weakness, muscle spasms,
depression, and an inability to sit for long.

Tornado Tim reminds you to find shelter when a tornado approaches.
The safest place to be is under the ground, or as low to the ground as
possible, and away from all windows. If you have a basement, make it
your safe place. If you do not have a basement, consider an interior
hallway or room on the lowest floor. Putting as many walls as you can
between you and the outside will provide additional protection.
