It doesn't really matter.

Although tornadoes tend to come out of the southwest, the direction of movement varies greatly. The strongest winds in a tornado are usually on its right side in the direction of the tornado's movement. However, since a tornado rotates and may have smaller circulations inside it, it is impossible to predict the wind direction for any given location. Violent winds may impact a structure from multiple directions in a short period of time.

Is a tornado a solid liquid or a gas?

Part of the definition of a tornado is "a violently rotating column of air." Air is a mixture of gasses. Therefore a tornado can be considered to be made of gas. The tornado is made visible, however, by a combination of droplets of liquid water that condense from water vapor and solid particles and objects lifted by the wind. Air is still the primary component, however. In this case a tornado may be considered an aerosol.


Where is the safest place in your house to be in during a tornado?

Generally speaking, you want to be as low to the ground as possible during severe tornado conditions. A basement is ideal, as particularly powerful tornadoes can tear buildings apart. If you don’t have access to an underground space, being near the center of the building is the next best plan, staying away from any windows, as flying debris is one of the greatest dangers during these storms. If your interior bathroom has a bathtub, that can also be a sturdy place to stay safe.

If you live in a high percentage of a tornado. Everyone should have a basement of some sorts. If there is a tornado you should bring your dog with you.
