    12 of 17. The shark would have got me for sure. I disagree with what to do when driving into the path of a tornado. If possible you should take a road which allows you to move at a right angle to the path of the tornado. Tornadoes can change direction but they usually hold to a generally constant path. If you can safely turn around and outrun the tornado that is probably also a better option. If you just lie down in a ditch, and if the tornado is big enough, there is a good chance you will be sucked out of the ditch and/or crushed by something thrown at you by the twister - such as the perfectly good car you just got out of.

    i agree with you, stan,, though the overpass option is pretty good, i grew up in Iowa, the town of Ames lay in a glacial depression in the ground, so tornados would skirt around the town,, we would sit on the porch and watch the funnel clouds come down and rise back up i got a 12, the shark woulda had me -John

        I'm from Oklahoma, so I've dodged a twister or two in my life. :omg: I disagree with you about the overpass. The winds of the tornado will actually accelerate as they are channeled through the overpass, so you would be exposing yourself to greater danger from being hit by high velocity debris "Humans: The final chapter in the evolution of rats"

          i guess i never thought about that much, the wind would get sucked *sideways* before the funnel got cut off,, i always heard the ditch rule, but that just sounded too passive for my taste... -John

                        Also 11... weird? Does it means that computer nerds think the same way. Though most of the questions, I answered, what I think was the correct answer instead of what I probably would do in thereal world. Christian Skovdal Andersen Don't mention the war...

                          14 out of 17, but I don't agree with some of the answers... I've had a fair bit of survival training by some ex SAS (australia) soldiers, they probably have different priorities to the people that wrote the quiz....
