    1. If you live in Arkansas, make sure your home insurance covers tornado damage.
    2. Prepare for a tornado and run tornado drills before severe weather. This will lessen the chance of confusion if a tornado hits.
    3. Pick the lowest place in your house to take cover before a tornado. Basements are great, but if you don't have a basement, choose an interior doorway or hallway.
    4. Cover your head to protect it from flying debris. Use a mattress or a piece of sturdy furniture.
    5. Stay away from windows and other glass (aquariums, mirrors, etc.).
    6. Keep a wrench near the gas meter and be sure you know how to turn the gas off.
    7. Make a supply box including a battery operated weather band radio, candles, flashlights, blankets, water and batteries.
    8. Stay inside! If you are in a car, pull to the side of the road and get out of the car (get in a ditch if possible). You cannot out run a tornado.
    9. Television and radio (weather band) are the best places to listen for up to date information.

Is a hurricane a water tornado?

No, a hurricane is not a tornado over water. A tornado and a hurricane are quite different. A hurricane is a large-scale self-sustaining storm pressure system, typically hundreds of miles wide.

Who would win in a fight a tornado or a hurricane?

There is no conflict between a hurricane and a tornado. In fact, hurricanes often produce tornadoes. However, if you were to somehow pitch the force of a hurricane against the force of a tornado, the hurricane would "win" without being significantly affected. Although a tornado can have faster winds than a hurricane, hurricanes are much larger and have several orders of magnitude more energy than a tornado.
