I think that the safest place during a tornado is somewhere with few windows preferably underground such as a basement or cellar. I have heard of a bathtub being a safe plus due to the cermic material it is made out of. Cover yourself with blankets.

Why hide in a bath tub during a tornado?

Hiding in a bathtub during a tornado can provide additional protection due to the sturdy nature of the tub and the surrounding walls. It can help shield you from flying debris and collapsing structures, increasing your chances of safety during a tornado.


Why not hide in a bath tub during a tornado?

Hiding in a bathtub during a tornado may not be safe because the plumbing can break apart and the tub itself may not provide adequate protection from flying debris and collapsing structures. It is safer to take cover in a small interior room on the lowest level of your home, such as a closet or bathroom, away from windows.

Go in a ditch or a hole and cover your head as a last resort.


Why is the bathtub a safe place for a tornado?

A standard porcelain bathtub is very heavy which makes it an unlikely candidate to be swept away. Most baths are installed very securely as they must support the weight of dozens of gallons of water. Should a structural collapse occur, the tub will act like a coffin, burying you alive :) Revision 2/7/2012: Please note, however, that most bathtubs are no longer made of porcelain. Instead, they are made of lightweight fiberglass, which would provide very limited protection during a tornado. Additionally, if winds are strong enough, even a porcelain tub won't offer protection, as you (and the tub) can easily be picked up by the storm. Go underground to be safe.

What are the steps to protect yourself and your family from a tornado?

Well first off you need to know that the tornado is going to hit your best bet is if there is a storm out side and its a pretty strong storm, you need to turn the TV on go to your local weather channel, And if you are in a tornado watch area you need to (if possable) go to your basement or out to your storm cellar. If you dont have niether of those you need to open all the windows in your house, (so you dont get cut or stabed by the glass breaking because of the force of the wind WILL make that happen) then you need to go to your bathroom get your kids in the tub and cover them with all the matresses and pillows you can find. Now if you and your spouce cant fit in the tub and dont want to leave your kids alone, one of you get in between the tub and toilet or if that not possable get ass many blankets, pillows, anything soft and thick to protect you. Lie down flat on the ground and cover up. make sure your able to hold on to the toilet or tub. That way if it is a very strong tornado you wont blow away.
