If a tornado threatens, immediate action can save your life. Have multiple ways to receive official warnings. Avoid windows and outside walls. Protect your head. Go to a basement if one is available. If no basement is available, go to the center of the lowest floor of the building you are in, preferably in a windowless hallway or bathroom. Put as many walls between you and the outside as possible. Mobile homes and vehicles are not safe in a tornado or strong thunderstorm winds. Leave the mobile home or vehicle for a sturdy shelter well before storms arrive and if the shelter is close by. If this is not possible and a severe storm is imminent, lie in a ditch or low spot and cover your head or wear a helmet. $$
