Ok, when I was picking up DS from school a NWS bulletin came over the radio. It made me stop and think...
They tell you that if you are in a vehicle to get to a safe shelter, or if that's not possible to pull over get out of the vehicle and lay down in a ditch with your hands over the base of your head/neck.
So WHY do they tell you that? I mean honestly I've never had to *really* think about it because tornados are not common place in Michigan...however, here in Missouri they are.
I mean for me, how the heck would I even keep track of 4 kids in a ditch with a tornado? Wouldn't you think they would be safER snugly strapped into their properly installed carseats? Even if it did pick up our truck and toss it about, I'd still think that'd be safER...
But what do I know...LOL
