mobile home, or in a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter
and protect yourself from flying debris.

If on or near lakes, get away from the water and move to safe

capsizing waves, even on small bodies of water. Move into dock and
seek safe shelter now! Do not be caught on the water in a
