The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) offered the following tips for encountering severe weather while on the road:
- Never drive through a flooded area; the water may carry your vehicle or cause it to stall.
- Do not use cruise control when the roads are wet. The distance it takes to stop increases in these conditions.
- If you encounter hail when driving, find shelter for your car.
- If you are in your vehicle during a tornado, seek sturdy shelter or the lowest part of the ground such as a ditch. Never seek shelter under highway overpasses.
- Use your headlights whenever conditions require the use of windshield wipers.
