Storm season (getting some here in Oklahoma as I type this), and we need to help others that may not know the proper ways to make it through this shit.
Number one thing is if you are driving and come up to a hail core do NOT stop under bridges! Shit is dangerous and fucks are doing it here in Oklahoma right now.
If you hear the siren take warning. Doesn’t mean it’s coming for you it just means there is a high possibility it’s close. Most places test the sirens and some they don’t so you can tell this when they set them off at a storm because you will hear them closer then ever before lol.
Hate to say it, but tv and local channels will usually cover this and you can get better prepared.
Ways to know you are going to get fucked.
Green sky. This is the biggest oh fuck indicators. Means the tornado or at the very least rotation is very close. Be sure you stay safe because I have personally seen a 2x4 go directly through a highway divider on I-35 here in Oklahoma before.
Just remember that after the storm people will need help, and I save vacation time for that very reason each year. Don’t care who or what they are, because someone would help me if it happened.
Stay safe goats

You forgot some things.
Birds. The fuckers know what's up. They will generally evacuate as a dangerous storm approaches. If you don't hear them, you should worry.
Humidity changes. When the dangerous part of a super cell is overhead you'll feel the change in humidity and pressure. Very important to know when a storm approaches with the cover of darkness. You should immediately take shelter.
If you are about to take a hit and are sheltering in place, put whatever soft things you have on top of yourself. Think mattresses and furniture cushions. Keep water in hand. If you get trapped in debris, you can survive without food but not water.
