Chevrolet Oklahoma Driving Safety: Preparing for Tornado Season, Versed for Everyday Life

When the clouds turn dark and the wind starts to change, Oklahomans recognize what is ahead. At Carter Chevrolet of Okarche, we're your Chevrolet dealer and your neighbor. We understand that staying safe on Oklahoma roads requires more than stop signs and seat belts. It requires being storm aware, watchful, and driving vehicles engineered with safety and reliability.

Let's count on each other to get you and your passengers where you need to go safely, especially when Mother Nature is not cooperating.

Built Chevrolet Tough, Tested in Tornado Country

Chevrolet is designed and constructed with real-world conditions in mind, and yes, that includes Oklahoma weather. Chevrolet vehicles are armed with StabiliTrak® electronic stability control, Forward Collision Alert, and OnStar® Emergency Services, so you're protected when things become uncertain. Whether you're commuting to work in a Silverado or road-tripping in a Tahoe, your Chevrolet is looking out for you.

Chevrolet Safety Features That Matter Most in Oklahoma

• All-Wheel Drive or 4x4 Capability for Enhanced Traction in Wet Slick Roadways
• Emergency Braking to Help Avoid Sudden Collisions
• Rear Vision Camera for Increased Visibility during Foggy Situations
• Adaptive Cruise that Responds to Traffic Disrupted by Weather
• Teen Driver Technology for Peace of Mind When Handing Over the Keys

Driving Tips for Tornado Country

Tornadoes are no joke, and driving in Oklahoma when extreme weather is forecasted is a situation that calls for special caution. Remember the following when Oklahoma's weather takes a turn for the worse:

1. Never Attempt to Outrun a Tornado: Don't presume you can outrun one if you see a funnel cloud forming or get a warning on your phone. Tornadoes are unpredictable and can make sudden turns, moving more rapidly than you'd think. Take cover immediately – preferably a solid structure or storm shelter.
2. Know Where You’re Going: Plan your route ahead of time, especially if storms are predicted. Use apps like NOAA Weather Radar and Chevrolet’s connected navigation tools to stay ahead of weather alerts and avoid high-risk areas.
3. Avoid Overpasses: They seem like the perfect place to find cover, but overpasses really can make conditions worse. Wind gets funneled through the structure and increases danger. If you can't make it to a building, get out of your vehicle and take cover in a ditch or ravine.
4. Remain Connected: OnStar® from Chevrolet keeps you a button away from emergency help, real-time weather updates, and automatic crash response. That extra connection could be the difference when seconds count.
5. Keep a Storm Kit in Your Chevrolet: All Oklahoma drivers should keep a few things in the car during storm season:
   • Phone Charger
   • Flashlight
   • First-Aid Kit
   • Bottled Water
   • Emergency Contact List
   • Blanket or Weatherproof Poncho
   • Your Chevrolet is equipped with ample storage, so there is no reason not to be ready.
