Interesting you should ask as we had tornado warnings most of today and evening. I first heard the warning as I was driving home in the winter storm (which in AZ is rain) early this afternoon. It came across the airwaves as a very loud and strident warning sound which went on for a good 30 seconds, following by the announcement from the national weather bureau. I live in the Northwest Valley - and that's the first I had ever heard that. It certainly made you pay attention to what was going on! Just to further elaborate on the answer.. No, phoenix doesn't have a tornado siren. We do have an air raid siren that is still in use, and if the situation arose in the Phoenix area to need to use it for warning of a tornado, they do use it. Issue is, all the surrounding cities such as Scottsdale, Mesa, Gilbert, Peoria, Chandler, etc can hardly hear, if at all. If your concerned you should listen to the weather bulletins on the radio or news stations..
The landing took place on July 20, 1969. Nobody actually walked on the moon during the landing, as they were busy navigating their way down. Several hours later, however, the two occupants of the Lunar Module ... Neil A. Armstrong and Edwin E. Aldrin ... did put on space suits, get out of the LM, put up a flag, make some speeches, walk around for a while, collect some rocks, and then get back into the LM and go back home.
There are a lot of benefits to skylights that you may not think of on a regular basis. While skylights are often regarded as nothing more than a stylistic showpiece for your home, they actually do serve a very functional purpose in your home as well. For example, on sunny days, skylights will actually trap a high level of heat from the sun inside of your home. By allowing this sunlight to filter into your home and warm it, you are going to be saving a lot of money on your heating bills during the day since you don't have to have the furnace on.
A closet away from windows or go to your neighbhors if they have a basement.
The safest place in a house other than a basement is an interior room or hallway on the first floor with no windows. Bathroom and especially a bathtub often provide good shelter

The safest place to hide during a tornado is either a basement or a tub with a mattress over top of it. But for an earthquake it is safe to hide inside of your home is in a doorframe or under a desk that is against the wall. The best hiding spot is proably outside and away from trees or buildings. At least outside you won't get crushed by your own house or someone else's.
First, it is impossible to know how exactly strong a tornado is before it hits. But if a strong tornado is approaching you should be in your basement or storm cellar which is the safest place to be. Even if the tornado is an EF5 the portion of it with EF5 winds may still easily miss you.
The best thing to do during a massive thunderstorm, especially if conditions are right for tornadic activity, is hide in the lowest place possible in your home or in a center room or closet. But if it's a small, non-threatening storm, you should be safe anywhere inside your home.
You need. to go as low as you can. The safest place in your home is the basement. Go as low as you can and cover your head. Try to put yourself under a table and hang on so the tornado does not pull you away. Always be safe!
A basement would be the safest place during a tornado, but many homes don't have a basement. If yours doesn't, you need to go to an innermost room/area of your home where there are no, or few, windows. A hallway is sometimes the safest place, sometimes the bathroom, particularly the bathtub is the safest place. It just depends on each individual home. If you can, get under a mattress, but not under the bed. If the bed were to fall on you, it could cause serious injury. If you have a twin size mattress, that would be ideal since it's lighter than a larger one, and you can drag it to the safest area of the home more quickly. And under NO circumstances do you go upstairs if it's a two story home. If you do have a basement, going to the corner is recommended as the ceiling above you is supported by two walls and therefore less likely to collapse. Mobile homes and manufactured homes should be abandoned for a nearby, studier shelter that has been decided on ahead of time.
The safest place to be if a tornado comes is in a basement or some other underground shelter. You should cover yourself however you can. Even a bicycle helmet offers protection. If you do not have a basement, find an interior room on the lowest floor. Stay away from windows if you can. A bathtub may also offer protection. If you live in a mobile home, leave it fore sturdier shelter if a tornado warning is issued.
Home, and if possible sleeping soundly.
No where near trees and tall metal poles. Inside your home is the safest option.
