How do you stay safe in a tornado if you are at home?
ClaudiaGonzalezfb139...
Away from doors, windows, and any objects that could be thrown towards you to cause injury.
Depends on which way the tornado is coming from, what's on the floor above you (heavy stuff?) and the structure itself (wood joists or metal?). Safest would be a smaller room within the basement that has structural walls (such as a bathroom).
That's a key thing to remember -- keep conscious of what's on the floors above you. You don't want a piano falling through the floor. Get as many interior walls in as you can, as low as you can go. Get under a bench, under a sturdy piece of furniture - cover yourself with a blanket or mattress to protect yourself from flying projectiles.
Grab a bottle of water, in case you're stuck for a few hours and need to be dug out.

∙ 10y agoThe safest place to be is not in the car. If you are in a car and a tornado is near, ge out of the car and seek shelter. If no shelter is available, and the tornado is approaching, get out of the car and lie in a ditch of depression as a last resort.

∙ 9y agoIf a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement or cellar to take cover. If you do not have one, go to an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor. If you live in a mobile home or trailer, leave it for a nearby, sturdier shelter. This location should be planned out in advance.
