In many cases you will hear a low noise from the wind. You may hear the sound of trees snapping and glass shattering. If you are unlucky, and the tornado is a strong one, the house may collapse above you, though this is unlikely. In rare cases the house may by removed from its foundation, exposing people in the basement to wind and debris.
