If there is a tornado you should take your family and pets into the basement (if you have one) or a room with no windows, preferably on the first floor, not a second or third level of a home.

A detailed study done on a single tornado in order to understand it better.

Can a 747 stand up to a cyclone 5 tornado?
There is no such thing as a "cyclone 5 tornado." You can have a category 5 hurricane or an EF5 tornado. In either case, the answer would be no; there is too much turbulence.
Who to call in case of a tornado?
If a tornado is coming, do not call anyone. Take cover immediately. After a tornado passes you may call the National Weather Service to report that a tornado is in the area. If people are seriously injured or trapped, call 911.
Which is the worst warning against tornadoes?
A tornado warning is generally considered the worst because it means tornado has been seen or radar has indicated a tornado is occurring or imminent.However, on rare occasions a tornado emergency may be issued in the case that a large tornado threatens a populated area.
Can you predicate when a tornado will happen?
Only to a very limited degree. Scientists can determine when conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop (in which case a tornado watch is issued), or even if a tornado may be developing (which would prompt a tornado warning), but cannot predict exactly where or when a tornado will touch down.
Why are emergency procedures important?
To put it simple you'll know what to do in case of an emergency. For instance, schools are required to perform Fire and Tornado Drills. If there was a fire or tornado that threatens your school you'll want to know what to do. Schools have planned routes out of every single room in case of a fire, and a planned place to go in case of a tornado, these plans are usually posted at the door of your classroom.
Which direction will the wind blow when a tornado is near?
That varies. If you are close enough to be in the area of the tornado's inflow then the wind will blow almost directly towards the tornado, perhaps a little to the right of that direction. In that case the wind direction will depend on where the tornado is relative to you. If you are beyond the inflow area for the tornado, then nothing about the wind direction would indicate the approaching tornado.
Are windows to be closed during tornado?
yes In the case of a weak tornado a closed window can prevent damaging winds form entering the house. Though if a tornado is coming do not waste time with the windows. Take cover immediately.
