2024 Hennepin County All -Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan
<br />Volume 2 — Hazard Inventory
<br />On the road, many drivers make choices that ultimately compromise the safety of other motorists. Driving
<br />into hail at highway speeds increases a hailstone's momentum (and therefore impact) substantially. Thus,
<br />if it begins hailing while driving, slow down and look for potential shelter options off the road. There may
<br />be none, but slowing down will reduce the impact of hail to the vehicle, reducing the risk for damage, and
<br />potential injury from shattered glass. If slowing down does not adequately reduce the risks, pull
<br />completely off the road, never under an overpass, and stop.
