If you hear the tornado sirens and the news station says that your town is in the path then you need to move to the lowest point in your house which is your basement. If you don't have a basement then move into an interior room such as a closet because you basically want to try and keep as many walls as you between you and the outside. If you are in a car you need to run and lay in a ditch do not go under an overpass because the wind for the tornado can suck you out and up just like a vacuum. If you are in a mobile home you need to get out and lay in a ditch or find a sturdy structure that you can take cover in maybe a neighbors house or something if not then try and find a ditch to lay in.

The Seymour, Texas, tornado of April 10, 1979 is a prime example of a tornado that is destined to be misjudged on the Fujita Scale. This spectacular funnel was probably capable of F4 damage, had it passed through a town. It produced only telephone pole and tree damage, and thus could be rated no higher than F2 damage. The Seymour tornado was in the same family as the devastatingWichita Falls, Texas tornado, which remains as of this writing, the most damaging in US history.
