You still have a decent chance of survival. Go to a room or hallway in the center part of your house on the lowest floor. Stay away from windows.
It is recommended to seek shelter in the basement during a tornado. If you are specifically referring to taking cover in the basement during a tornado, it can be simply called a tornado shelter.
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.
It depends on the strength of the tornado, but it is not as safe as a fully underground basement. In most cases it would be safe, especially if you can get into a room that is in the underground portion of it.
you can hide in the basement because the tornado doesn't get to the basement if you don't have one find the nearest safest place.Go to a basement or cellar. If you do not have one, go to an interior room or hallway. Stay away from windows.
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.

in the basement
The safest place to be if there is a tornado is in a basement or storm cellar. If you can't get to a basement get to a room in the center part of the building away from windows.
Hide in a basement that has no windows in it
1) Get into your basement in a place w/o any windows. If you dont have a basement, seek a tornado shelter, or ask friends/family/neighbors if you can use their basement/shelter. 2) always have a emergency kit (band aids, food, water, possibly a blanket, and all the items in a normal Emergency kit, which means their meant for anything that happens to you or another person and it has like tweezers and gauze and stuff like that.) 3) NEVER under ANY circumstances EVER go outside or not be in shelter during the tornado. The winds can pick you up in SECONDS and throw you god knows where. But if you follow these steps you should be kept safe and sound from the Tornado. :)
Where you should go in your basement does not depend on where the tornado is coming from, but how the house and basement are arranged. You will want to be away from windows and preferably in a corner. If there is a small room within the basement, the walls can add protection.
