Yes. But you shouldn't! I live in Oklahoma, I know tornadoes. You should find a room with walls that are all interior walls on the bottom floor or basement. Preferably a bathroom or small closet, then get a bunch of blankets, pillows, mattresses, and places them all around you. Make sure you have on pants, preferably jeans, and sturdy tennis shoes.

How can you prepare for a Moore tornado?
Preparing for a tornado in Moore, Oklahoma is little different from preparing for one anywhere else. Keep a first aid kit, flashlights, a battery-powered weather radio, and spare batteries. Since Moore is prone to violent tornadoes, but relatively few homes have basements, consider purchasing an above ground tornado shelter. Some of these shelters can withstand a direct hit from an EF5 tornado. If a tornado threatens you in Moore, take cover in an interior room or closes on the lowest floor (or in your tornado shelter if you have one). Do no attempt to evacuate.
