A storm window is an additional window over the existing window that provides protection from high winds, severe weather and winter cold. And they are quite effective in providing protection from the extreme wind that a tornado nearby can create but do little in protection of a tornado right on top of you. The old school thought of opening windows is out generally and the new school thought is get to safety in a basement.
