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.

Where is the best place to go during a tornado if one lives in a mobile home?

The best thing to do is to leave your mobile home for more suitable shelter. If possible, go to a nearby sturdy building or storm shelter. It is best to have a place planned out ahead of time. In an emergency, even a concrete culvert in the open is safer than remaining in a mobile home. They will almost certainly be pulverized if caught up in the tornado. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) warns people in mobile homes to leave them immediately if there is a threat of a tornado. Mobile home parks may be eligible for federal assistance in building communal storm shelters.


What should you do if an EF5 tornado is approaching your home?

Where do you go during a tornado if you don't have a basement?

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.


What can you do to minimize damage to your home and property during a tornado?

Additionally, securing outdoor furniture, trimming trees and shrubs, and reinforcing your garage door can help reduce potential hazards during a tornado. Stay informed by monitoring weather alerts and have a family emergency plan in place.
