If you can, go to a basement or cellar. If you cannot get underground, go to an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor. Bathrooms often provide good shelter.

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.

What can happen if you are in a tornado?
Your home or whatever building you are in may be damage or even destroyed spending on the strength of the tornado and how sturdy the building is. If the building is destroyed you may be struck by falling debris or trapped under the rubble. If you are exposed to the open at all you may be struck by flying debris carried by the winds, which can injure or kill. You could even be picked up and carried by the winds of the tornado in which case survival is unlikely.
