Any part of a home can be impacted by a tornado, depending on how strong it is. A weak tornado will probably not damage more than the exterior. The basement is the least likely part to be affected, but an EF5 tornado could easily remove a house from its foundation and expose the basement to the winds.

If you don't have a basement go to an interior room on the lowest floor. Stay away from windows. If you live in a mobile home you should leave it for a sturdier shelter.
