PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Winds of this magnitude may down trees, power lines, and damage
property. If you must drive, watch for objects blowing across the
roadway and into your path. Keep a safe distance from cars in
adjacent lanes as strong gusts could suddenly push a vehicle
outside its lane of travel. Take extra care in high-profile
vehicles such as a truck, van, or SUV, or when towing a trailer,
as these are more prone to be pushed or even flipped by high
winds.
