Handling Severe Storms on the road and at home
4/30/2022 (Permalink)
Here on the Jersey Shore, severe storms can strike at any time. Unfortunately, the timing and conditions of a storm can put your home or car in it’s direct path. Be aware that a sudden storm can do much more than spoil your outdoor plans this spring and summer.
When it comes to being on the road, driving conditions will deteriorate quickly due to:
- Low visibility
- Low traction
- Puddles of water
- High winds
- Flash flooding
- Lightning
- Heavy rain
- Hail
- Debris
- Other drivers
It’s always safest to stay off the roads during a severe summer storm, but if that isn’t an option remember these key safety tips:
- Keep your doors and windows closed
- Drive slowly
- Don’t tailgate
- Headlights on
- Both hands on the wheel
- Avoid distractions
- Wipers at appropriate speed
