Where is the safest place during a tornado
The safest place would be the lowest level of your home, preferably the basement or storm cellar if you have one. Most homes in the midwest do for this very reason. If you do not have a basement or storm cellar, the safest place would be the lowest place of your home towards the center and away from windows. If you have a bathroom on the lower level in the interior of the house, this would be a good place to go. Taking shelter in the bathtub and covering yourself and your family could protect you from flying debris.
Tornado Safety for Office Buildings
If you are in an office building, the same principle applies. Get to the lowest level possible if you can and stay away from windows. Stairwells are a good place to hide if they are not crowded as well.
Tornado Safety for Mobile Homes
If you are in a mobile home, it is best to get out. Believe it or not you are actually safer outside than inside your mobile home. A lot of mobile home parks have tornado shelters nowadays so chec with your manager to see if they have one and where it is. This is all the more reason to be prepared ahead of time because you will have to run with limited time to get there.
Tornado Safety for Shopping Centers, theatres, and other public places
Move to an interior bathroom, storage room, or if possible a hallway that is not crowded. Stay away from windows and courch face down with your arms protecting you.
In outside and open areas
First look around to see if there is a building or shelter nearby that you can run to quickly. If you can't, you will want to stay away from cars and trucks, and lie flat on your face in a low area such as a ditch. You can protect yourself with your arms as well.
In a car or truck
Many people think you can outrun a tornado, and though it is possible, it is a very high risk and dangerous thing to do. For one, you have no idea where the tornado is going or going to go next. They can switch directions and some can be pretty fast. If you do decide to outrun one, you could be driving straight in its path without knowing it. Tornadoes can toss trucks and cars like toys so it's best to find a building for shelter or to find a low place outside and lay flat on your face with your arms protecting you.
