Looks like the NWS changed emergency procedures if you are running from or caught in a Tornado.
If you are caught outdoors, seek shelter in a basement, shelter or sturdy building. If you cannot quickly walk to a shelter:
• Immediately get into a vehicle, buckle your seat belt and try to drive to the closest sturdy shelter.
• If flying debris occurs while you are driving, pull over and park. Now you have the following options as a last resort:
· Stay in the car with the seat belt on. Put your head down below the windows, covering with your hands and a blanket if possible.
· If you can safely get noticeably lower than the level of the roadway, exit your car, and lie in that area, covering your head with your hands.
• Your choice should be driven by your specific circumstances.
