Answer 2

Answer: Go to a shelter farther inland on higher ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hurricane can be defined as a kind of storm that is also called as tropical cyclone. It forms over the tropical as well as subtropical waters.

The high speed wind currents changes the flow of water currents which can cause huge floods.

According to the given situation, the Gulf of Mexico which is located at the deep river valley, is expected to attain a storm in two days. Thus as a safety precaution people should take shelter farther from inland and typically on the higher grounds. This will prevent the shelter from the effect of high speed wind currents and water currents that are likely to affect the shelter near the deep river valley.
