What you should do in a tornado if you're in your home is that you must go immediatley to your basement because since basements are underground, it's impossible for a tornado to hit your basement. If you don't have a basement, my friend told me that you should go to a room with no windows.
You can not stop the tornado, however you should take cover in a basement. If you live in a town with a high water table then you don't have basements and you should take cover in a closet or in a room with no windows.
The best place to take cover in a tornado is a basement tor cellar. If you do not have one get to an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor of you house, preferably a bathroom.
