My advice? KNOW the county you are in when driving. Weather alerts are always given per County locations, which County a tornado is headed, which County's will be affected by severe storms, etc.
This was MY first scary revelation when a tornado alert came out. I had NO idea what County I was in while traveling down the road. So I couldn't tell if I was driving IN to it or away from it. :R
I now have a big color coded county map for each state. When I am putting together my trip routing for the day I also mark it on the county map.
Getting off the interstate is the FIRST thing you should do. I try to find a building wall to get up against with the MH. That and don't park near or under trees!
I've been thru 3 while driving down the road and survived all of them only to have a tornado touch down in the CG I was staying at.
