If you live in a house or apartment complex get to the basement or cellar, crouch down facing a wall, and cover your head. If you do not have one go to the lowest floor and get to a room in the center part of the building. A bathroom or closest often provides good shelter. Stay away from windows.
If you live in a trailer or mobile home abandon it for a more substantial structure.
You should not be in a mobile home if there is a tornado coming. Mobile homes are very susceptible to tornado damage and should be abandoned for sturdier shelter during a tornado warning.
Leave the mobile home for a sturdy building or an underground shelter.

in an underground basement
Any part of a home can be impacted by a tornado, depending on how strong it is. A weak tornado will probably not damage more than the exterior. The basement is the least likely part to be affected, but an EF5 tornado could easily remove a house from its foundation and expose the basement to the winds.
If you are in a mobile home and a tornado is coming you should leave and find a sturdier structure nearby, preferably one with a basement or cellar. Some trailer parks in tornado-prone areas have communal underground storm shelters that you can go to.
The police advised people to stay home during the tornado.
If you don't have a basement during a tornado, seek shelter in an interior room on the lowest level of your home, such as a bathroom or closet. Stay away from windows and protect yourself with heavy furniture or mattresses. If possible, consider installing a tornado shelter or safe room for future storms.

Most deaths during a tornado are caused by debris.
During a tornado, go to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Avoid windows, doors, and outside walls. Do not stay in a mobile home or seek shelter under a bridge or overpass.
No, it is not safe to be in a fire chimney during a tornado. Tornadoes can cause structural damage that may compromise the chimney's stability, putting you at risk of injury or worse. It is safer to seek shelter in a designated tornado shelter or in a lower, windowless interior room in your home.
