Is a bathtub more safe if it is not porcelain during a tornado?

Whether or not a bathtub is porcelain probably would not make a significant difference during a tornado. The type of porcelain from which bathtubs are made would not break in the same way that porcelain dishes can shatter. The important factor is the depth of the tub, and whether the sides are high enough to provide protection from the wind force and from flying objects.
