As deadly tornadoes rip through parts of the U.S., the National Weather Service is urging where people should go to seek shelter.
on their channel, Nomadic Habits, Chapman said they had about 30 seconds to seek shelter once the tornado alarms went off. She said they ran to the ditch because that's something she was always taught.
"For me growing up, I was just always told if you got caught in the car to find a low ground and it needs to be a deep ditch, so one where if you were crouching your head is below the level," she said."Always have blankets to be prepared, always cover yourself." Peck-Chapman added:"The idea with a ditch too, is that it's lower than the ground level so any debris that's flying from the tornado is gonna pass over top of you."of Houston that their van only had minor damage.said that protecting your body and head is extremely important when trapped outdoors with no shelter.
"If possible, seek shelter in a sturdy building. If not, lie flat and face-down on low ground, protecting the back of your head with your arms. Get as far away from trees and cars as you can; they may be blown onto you in a tornado," the agency said.
