Why are storm cellars or the center of a house safer during tornadoes?
The basic idea in tornado safety is to put as much between yourself and the tornado as possible to protect yourself from the wind and debris. In the center part of a house, you will generally have at least two walls between you and the tornado, which will shield you from the vast majority of storms. In a storm cellar it is even better as you are protected by the ground itself. Since you are underground, nothing can come from the side.
Does a closet protect you from a tornado?
