Best Answer

The safest place to be in a tornado would be a tornado shelter. However, the vast majority of the population do not have access to these shelters.

Basements - being sure to stay clear from the West and South walls. A good protective area would be underneath your basement stairs. Storing blankets, pillows, water, and protective footwear underneath your basement stairs is a good idea.

You and your family (if applicable) should form an emergency plan, and conduct drills once a month. Factual evidence proves this will result in less chaos and panic during tornadic activity.

If you live in a mobile home park, be sure to ask the manager where the nearest shelter is, or if they have one on site. If tornadic danger is imminent, you should lay down in a nearby ditch or crease in the earth's soil. This is safer for you than staying in your mobile home.

If you do not have a basement, and your house is on a slab, the safest place for you would be in an interior room, far away from windows.
