What should the water pressure be from the main into the house?
well most homes should have 60 to 80 psi. If you have a well and you only have a two story home then I would set the pump pressure to 60 psi, if you have city water and your pressure is above 80 , I would recommend installing a pressure reducer valve with shut offs on both sides so a person can service it in the future.
Adjusting the Home Water Pressure?
For many homeowners, the water pressure at the house is not sufficient to properly do household chores such as watering the plants. It is quite simple to check and adjust the water pressure. A pressure gauge can be purchased at a home improvement store. This simply screws onto an outside spigot and will give the homeowner a reading as to the pounds per square inch of water pressure. If this needs to be adjusted, there is a simple screw setting at the location of the main water line. Care should be taken when adjusting the pressure as too high of a setting can damage the plumbing.

House water pressure?
House water pressure should be around 50-60 psi.
Why might you open the windows in your house if you saw a tornado coming?
To allow the air pressure inside the house to equalize with the air pressure outside in hopes of reducing damage. However, this has been disproven. The pressure drop in event the strongest of tornadoes is not enough to cause significant damage, and even then then the winds of such a tornado would destroy a house before it reached the center where the pressure is lowest.
How do you correct low water pressure?
If it's the whole house, turn the screw clockwise at the PRV to increase the pressure. If it is something else, you would have to explain it more.
