The basement. The third floor is not safe. If you can't get down, the center of the building, perhaps the hallway is best. Avoid windows. The bathroom usually has limited windows and the bathtub is a solid structure that can protect you from debris.
Your best option would be to seek shelter in a room or hallway on the lowest floor of the building, rather than in the apartment itself. If you do not have access to any areas downstairs, take cover in a room or closet as close to the center of the building as possible. You want to put as many walls between you and the outside as you can.
You should go to the building's basement or to an interior room or halway on the lowest floor.
The basement, or cellar, if you have one. The best place is a tornado shelter room, that you can build, using designs from the internet.
Get to an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor of the building. Stay away from windows.
go downstairs to the apartment's laundry room
The bathroom is generally the other safest place to go during a tornado.
You should not even need to go outside during a tornado. Let's say you forgot something outside and a tornado is there. Should you go out? NO! Because it is very scary to go outside during a tornado. But you should gather your family together, and then go in a basement or closet. Try to keep safe.
Yes. Basically, energy is ALWAYS conserved. In this case, if it takes an extra effort to go up, that's because other type of energy (the energy from your muscles in this case) is converted into gravitational potential energy.
They can't exactly go in ditches because a tornado in almost any case is much wider than a ditch Ditches are actually recommended for cover if other shelter is not available. This does not guarantee survival, however.
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.

No house can offer 100% protection from a tornado. The best option is a house with a basement to go to in case of a tornado.
It can be relatively safe, but some other room or hallway without exterior walls would probably be safer. Also, if your apartment is on an upper floor you may want to go to one of the lower floors if a tornado threatens.
People who live in trailers should go to a sturdier building if a tornado threatens.
Many of the newer apartment complexes are two-story buildings that have first and second floor units. There are some advantages and disadvantages to living either upstairs or downstairs.Easier to Get in and Out of Downstairs ApartmentsDownstairs apartments are ideal if you are not in any condition to climb stairs. It is easier to move in and out of a downstairs apartment. It is also easier to bring groceries and other items into your apartment when you don’t have to climb several stairs to get to your front door. The ease of accessibility makes downstairs apartments perfect for older individuals or people who have children that like to go in and out of the apartment often. Downstairs apartments are also a better choice if you have large furniture that will need to be brought in when you first move into your apartment.No Noise Above You in Upstairs ApartmentsOne of the biggest benefits of having an upstairs apartment is that you will never hear footsteps from your ceiling. Living downstairs can be a bit noisier, especially if the upstairs apartment houses small children who run around a lot. Upstairs apartment living feels more like you are in a private house because the noise from your neighbors is reduced to a minimum. As an upstairs neighbor you may get complaints from the apartment below you if you tend to walk heavily or make a lot of noise that could be carried through their ceiling.The Element of SafetyUpstairs and downstairs apartments each have their own share of security issues. A downstairs apartment can be more open to the parking lot and people who walk through the complex at all hours. When you live downstairs, you may feel like you need to keep your blinds drawn and windows closed more often. Downstairs apartments are easier to get out of if there is any structural damage to the property, however. In the case of severe storms or a fire, downstairs neighbors can leave the building far more quickly than upstairs neighbors. Each apartment has its own unique sense of security. It is up to you to decide where you feel the safest.
well you prob cant go upstairs because your scared.
To put it simple you'll know what to do in case of an emergency. For instance, schools are required to perform Fire and Tornado Drills. If there was a fire or tornado that threatens your school you'll want to know what to do. Schools have planned routes out of every single room in case of a fire, and a planned place to go in case of a tornado, these plans are usually posted at the door of your classroom.
You can go to apartments.com and type in your location which is Indiana in this case.
"Shall we go upstairs" is a subtle request/invitation for sex. "Upstairs" simply means bedroom. "Upstairs" actually means just that - to go up the stairs to the next floor of the house. The bedroom is traditionally on the second floor (or first floor to the Brits)
The theme for the short story "You Need To Go Upstairs", is that every problem can be conquered.
You first have to be a member and then go and buy a new house with a upstairs! Easy.
