If you are in a vehicle, never try to outrun a tornado.
如果你在车里，千万不要试图跑过龙卷风。
Tornadoes can change direction quickly and a car is no match for the strong tornado gusts and can be tossed through the air.
龙卷风可以迅速改变方向，汽车根本无法抵挡强烈的龙卷风阵风，会被卷到空中。
Get out of the vehicle immediately and take shelter in a nearby building.
立即下车，躲到附近的建筑物里。
And if there is no time to take shelter, then use the same advice when stranded outside:
如果没有时间去躲避，当困在外面时也可以使用同样的建议：
lie in a ditch or low-lying area, use your arms to protect your head and neck, and stay alert to the potential for flooding.
躺在沟渠内或低洼地区，用手臂保护头部和脖子，并对潜在的洪水保持警惕。
Those are a few suggestions on how to protect yourself if a tornado hits, but it's also sensible to be as prepared as you can.
以上是一些关于龙卷风来袭时如何保护自己的建议，但尽可能做好准备也是明智的。
According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, the best way to stay safe during a tornado is to have the following items on hand:
根据疾病控制与预防中心的说法，龙卷风期间保持安全的最佳方法是手头备有以下物品：
Fresh batteries and a battery-operated TV, radio, or internet-enabled device to listen to the latest emergency weather information;
新电池和可电池供电的电视、收音机或互联网设备，用于收听最新的紧急天气信息；
A tornado emergency plan including access to a "safe shelter" for yourself and for people with special needs;
制定龙卷风应急计划，包括为自己和有特殊需要的人提供“安全避难所”；
An emergency kit, including water, non-perishable food, and medication; and a list of important information, including telephone numbers.
应急包应该包含水、不易腐烂的食物和药品；以及一份包括电话号码在内的重要信息清单。
And of course it's always sensible to be aware of the weather conditions.
当然，了解天气状况总是很明智的。
As well as keeping an eye on the sky, if you know thunderstorms are expected, stay tuned to local radio and TV stations.
除了密切关注天空之外，如果你知道雷暴即将来临，注意收听当地电台和电视台的信息。
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) there is no guaranteed safety during a tornado.
根据美国国家海洋和大气局的说法，龙卷风期间安全难以保证。
Even the possibility of a tornado must be taken seriously.
即使仅是龙卷风可能来袭，也必须认真对待。
In 2016 the tornado season claimed the lives of 18 individuals and injured another 325.
2016年，龙卷风季节造成18人死亡，另有325人受伤。
78% of those victims were in a mobile home or trailer park at the time of the tornado. These storms caused an estimated $183 million in property damage.
78%的受害者在龙卷风发生时住在拖车活动房屋或拖车停车场。这些暴风造成了估计1.83亿美元的财产损失。
Although the most violent tornadoes can level and blow away almost any house and those within it, extremely violent F5 tornadoes are very rare and most tornadoes are much weaker.
虽然最猛烈的龙卷风可以夷平并吹走几乎所有的房子和房子里的人，但极端猛烈的F5级龙卷风是非常罕见的，大多数龙卷风要弱得多
Do you live in Tornado Alley and maybe you've even seen one of these destructive forces of nature in action.
你是否住在龙卷风走廊呢？也许你甚至见过一次这种自然界强大的破坏性力量。
