Where to be in a Tornado
Of course, most people just tell you to stay in a small area without windows, like a closet. But is that really safe enough?

If your inside a mobile home..

 * Evacuate your home IMMEDIATELY.
 * Try to seek a Tornado shelter.
 * If no Tornado shelter is near, try to find a home without any straps holding the house.
 * If you can't find any of these, run down into a low ditch, curl up, and cover your neck and head with your hands together.

If your in a non-mobile home..

 * Get in a basement immediately.
 * If you don't have a basement, get in a closed area, farthest from doors and windows, and get as low as you can. Cover your neck and head with your hands together.

If your outside..

 * Get in a shelter immediately.
 * If no shelter is near, try to seek inside a non-mobile home, and follow similar instructions.
 * If no homes or shelter are near, get in a low lying ditch, and cover your neck and head with your hands together.

Tornadoes can be scary. It is VERY important to be able to seek in the safest spot away from a tornado.

Before hand..
Make sure you have in your basement or on you;
 * A phone, for emergencies.
 * Your pets! If you don't have enough time to take your pet in a safe area, then risking your life is not neccesary.
 * Any other personal belongings that you have time to take. Chances are, your house is going to be destroyed by the tornado. If you have anything crucial, you might want to take it with you if time is present.
