Getting caught in a rainstorm can be dangerous, especially if you are stranded and alone.

Getting caught in a rainstorm can be dangerous, especially if you are stranded and alone. Floods can sometimes become very high, electrical lines can fall, and power can go out. If you find yourself stranded, try to find shelter immediately and then follow these steps below from CDC:

?     Call or text your emergency contact. Let them know where you are, if any family members are missing, and how you are doing.

?     Use your phone only as necessary. Keep the phone handy in case you need to report a life-threatening emergency. Otherwise, do not use the phone, so that the lines will be available for emergency responders.

?     Keep listening to your radio, television, or phone for updates. Do not leave your shelter unless authorities tell you it is safe to do so. If they tell you to evacuate the area, follow their instructions.
