What Cha’ know
about SNOW?
Tornadoes never strike
To be safe in winter pick a reference point and count about 2
seconds past when the rear of the vehicle in front passes that point.
twice
That is not enough time (2 seconds) to determine a safe stopping
distance from the car in front of you. The roadway is snow-covered or icy,
double and even triple the number of seconds.
IN THE same placE
There is no difference between all-season tires and winter tires!
FALSE! The groves in winter tires are about
30% deeper thus gripping the road more effectively.
The weather is good, the road is
clear, I can't see any ice...I can drive
just like I do in the summer.
Sorry Charlie, Its still winter and tire
traction drops with the temp. You also
must be on the look out for black ice
which is not easily seen. Drive Safe !
All-season tires are good enough for city driving.
WRONG! When the temperature drops below 7°C, the
rubber on all season tires begin to harden and loose
elasticity AKA traction!
Accidents happen for different
reasons in the Summer and Winter.
THE SNOW CAUSES
ACCIDENTS IN THE WINTER.

Houses do not explode from the pressure
of a tornado. Spending time opening
windows is wasting precious time you
should be using to find safe shelter.

TORNADOES
TORNADOES DON’T
HIT BIG CITIES. . .
Incorrect! Dallas, St. Louis, Miami,
and other large cities in the U.S.
Urban torandos can also be considered
more dangerous because they can pick
up more debris causing more destruction.
IT IS EASY TO OUT RUN A TORNADO...
SIKE!

Tornadoes can travel up to 70 mph (according to NOAA website)
It is a safer bet to abandon your vehicle and find shelter
rather then drive away from the near by storm.
INSURANCE POLICIES COVER
FLOODING
Larger vehicles, such as
SUVs and pickups, are safe
to drive through flood waters.
NO WAY JOSE! It only takes
about two feet of water to carry
away most vehicles, including
SUVs and other large vehicles.
“equalize pressure”
It is still winter meaning
road conditions can
change every few miles.
CARELESSNESS AND SPEEDING ARE THE NUMBER
ONE CAUSES OF CAR ACCIDENTS IN ALL SEASONS!
Seeking shelter under an overpass is
more dangerous because it can house
increased wind speeds from the tornado.
Leave windows open to
IF THE ROAD IS IN GOOD SHAPE
WHEN I BEGIN MY TRIP, I CAN EXPECT
GOOD CONDITIONS THE WHOLE TRIP.
NOPE!
Tornadoes can strike
any where and any time,
whether or not one has

can occur many
places such as in dry

areas where no near
flowing water is present.
The southwest
corner of a building
is the safest place to
be during a tornado.
FLASH-FLOODS
OCCUR MOSTLY IN
THE AFTERNOON OR EVENING
OBVIOUSLY FALSE.
This is based on the myth
that tornadoes come from
the southwest, thus the
debris fall into the northeast
side of the basement

United States including Alaska and Hawaii

Moving to another part of the
Country will eliminate your allergies
Colds are caused by viruses that infect the nasal passages,
not by weather conditions. This stems from the fact that colds
are more common in the winter because we spend more
time indoors.. WITH OTHER PEOPLE!
Some people feel more comfortable in colder
weather and some in warmer weather. However
relocating will not make a big difference because
for those algerie prone people will most likely
develop algeries to something else in their new location.
