Whether or not a bathtub is porcelain probably would not make a significant difference during a tornado. The type of porcelain from which bathtubs are made would not break in the same way that porcelain dishes can shatter. The important factor is the depth of the tub, and whether the sides are high enough to provide protection from the wind force and from flying objects.

Is it true that if you stand in the eye of a tornado it won't hurt you?
No. Although the eye of a tornado is calm, you have to get through the extreme winds of the core to get in and out. The eye of a tornado is small enough that unless the tornado is large and slow-moving, you will not be in the eye for more than a few seconds.
What is the purpose of radar during a tornado?
Doppler radar is able to measure wind speed within a storm. If the radar detects a small portion of a storm with strong winds traveling in opposite direction, it means there is intense rotation which may be a precursor to the tornado or even the tornado itself. This can allow us to see a tornado ahead of time and warn people so they can get to safety. Some mobile doppler radar can yield high resolution data from within the tornado itself, allowing us to learn more about its internal dynamics and how tornadoes work.
Does a bathtub cool faster than a teacup?
Yes, at room temperature, if the amount of liquid is the same in tea cup and a bathtub, then bathtub cools faster. This is because more surface area of liquid is in contact with air. Assumptions made: The liquids in both the containers are the same. And both have been heated to a temperature higher than that of room temperature.
Is a bathtub a milliliter or liter?
a bath tub is a milliliter because a liter is the size of a water bottle
Why would a closet be safe during a tornado?
A closet is small, and as a result, the walls do a good job of supporting each other. In larger rooms the walls have longer spans where they are not supported by another wall, making them more likely to collapse. Additionally, closets do not have windows, which are dangerous to be near during a tornado.

Does a hill help you during a tornado?
Seeking shelter in a low-lying area like a ditch or basement is safer during a tornado compared to being on a hill. Hills can be more exposed to strong winds, debris, and funnel clouds during a tornado, increasing the risk of injury or damage. It is important to follow proper tornado safety guidelines and avoid seeking shelter on a hill during a tornado.
When an eye of a tornado comes back more severe than the general tornado what is that called?
When the eye of a tornado becomes more intense and destructive than the larger tornado, it is known as a "tornado within a tornado" or a "satellite tornado." This phenomenon occurs when a smaller, more powerful vortex forms within the main tornado circulation.
What causes more injuries and deaths during a tornado?
More injuries and deaths during a tornado are typically caused by factors such as flying debris, which can strike individuals and cause severe trauma. Additionally, many people underestimate the tornado's severity or fail to seek shelter promptly, leading to exposure to hazardous conditions. Poor building structures can also collapse under the tornado's winds, trapping or injuring occupants. Lastly, lack of preparedness and awareness can hinder effective response during such emergencies.
Would a bathtub weigh about 15 gallons or 15 pints?
