If you are outside get to some sturdy shelter if possible. If no shelter is available, lie in a ditch or depression in the ground. If you are in the house, go to the basement and crouch against a wall, covering your head. Essentially duck and cover. If you do not have a basement go to the lowest floor of your house, preferably to a room or closet in the center part with no windows. A bathroom on the lowest floor may also provide good cover.

If you are outside the tornado it still stands a good chance of missing you.
