Generally speaking, you want to be as low to the ground as possible during severe tornado conditions. A basement is ideal, as particularly powerful tornadoes can tear buildings apart. If you don’t have access to an underground space, being near the center of the building is the next best plan, staying away from any windows, as flying debris is one of the greatest dangers during these storms. If your interior bathroom has a bathtub, that can also be a sturdy place to stay safe.
The safest place to hide during a tornado is in a basement or den. If you don't have one of those, hide in the bath tub in the bathroom or hide in a closet.
Why is the bath tub the safest place to be during a tornado answer my question?
-- the southwest corner is the worst place to be in the basement, studies have shown. The best advice you can get is to be "as low into the ground you can go, and as many walls away from the tornado as possible." Get to the center, under i-beams, inside solid walls - stuff with structure that will help hold things up when it all comes tumbling down. Get a workbench or sturdy piece of furniture, and put yourself under it. Throw a mattress and blanket over you to protect from flying debris.
Get portable water and keep it with you, in case it takes a few hours for you to be dug out by rescue personnel. A radio would help. Flashlight.
Just remember "the more walls, the more chances." That's why alot of pictures you'll see just a bathroom left standing. The walls act as a buffer, the piping and Plumbing help "cage" it.
Get yourself safe, and under something sturdy in case things come falling down. Something to cover you to protect from flying projectiles.
all the answers here were mostly correct but there is one that is an absolute NO and dangerous;not uncommon though. DO NOT GO INTO A FREEWAY UNDERPASS.Worst place possible .It INCREASES the wind speed of the tornado. Yes,ppl have survived there but not because it is safe. It was probably due to the tornado going in a different direction or not being close enough at the time.
Go to the Weather Channel website. They have the best information you can get re tornadoes. Another way to be safe is to be WEATHER AWARE.i noticed a long time ago with these tornadoes is that the greatest danger is people being caught off guard. Be WEATHER AWARE. I go to the Storm Prediction Center and look at Convection reports. It's a darned reliable site to get weather conditions and what MIGHT be coming. Keep in mind that they can read the tea leaves so to speak but it's still not an exact science. However, it's as accurate as you will ever get.Better when they are wrong but they are not always going to be wrong if weather conditions hold. If you're a day ahead of what might be coming you're better off than finding out when the sirens are going. i watch people driving around in cars as a tornado is approaching and wonder why they are even out and about. Take it seriously. Have a PLAN. In fact put your plan into place while there is a watch and there's time. Once it's a warning-meaning torando on ground-you probably have seconds. In a mobile home-go to a shelter BEFORE it gets to a warning. In a car-better off not driving around but if you're caught,get out and seek shelter of some kind.
Of course, the safest place to be when a tornado approaches is in a basement or storm shelter underground. But if you are not able to get to a shelter or basement, you need to find shelter that is available. If you have a cellar, storm shelter, safe room or basement available, go immediately to that area.
When there is a tornado, the main priority is to get AWAY from where you are right now, especially if it's a major tornado. Try and stay in low grounds, like in a basement or a tunnel or something like that. If you are in a building with a tornado-safe room, or your house has one, then you should take shelter in there. Usually, these areas are like the bathroom or closet in your house, but in other places, like some hall or theatre, there would usually be a metal sign by the door which would say TORNADO ROOM. Try and find that room to get into. If there is a tornado coming, first pack all your things. But don't forget to bring everyone with you, even your pets! Stay safe!

personally think the basement is the best place because it is underground so it is safest, or the cellar is a good place to hide in as well so I believe these are the most safest place to be in. Don't hide anywhere else these are the safest place to hide in i believe.
Yes if u are inland you should probably evacuate to a basement or a bath tub, but if you are getting hit by a category 3 or above and live near the sea or on the coast do not go in a basement or below ground because strong winds cause a storm surge which will lead to dangerous flooding and ur basement will be the first thing to fill up
