If you are caught outdoors during a tornado warning and there is no sturdy shelter immediately available, what is the safest recommended action?

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

If sturdy shelter is unavailable, lying in a ditch or low-lying area provides some protection from flying debris, which is the primary danger from a tornado. Overpasses are extremely dangerous as they can act as wind tunnels, concentrating debris and offering no real protection. Vehicles and mobile homes offer minimal protection from a direct hit and can become deadly projectiles. Trying to outrun a tornado in a vehicle is risky due to unpredictable paths and debris.
