Being caught in a tornado is one of the scariest things that nature can throw at you. The force of the winds can cause terrible damage and the destruction that follows a tornado can be heartbreaking. Tornado warning systems have improved greatly over the years, but there still isn\u2019t much warning in some cases. If you were to receive a warning that there is a risk for tornadoes in the area where you live, what should you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your first step should be to assess how much time you have. If the warning is given well in advance, you might have time to get to a safer location if you live in a home that is not as stable as you would like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are not able to leave your home, you should find a safe area where you can shelter. Ideally, you should find shelter in a basement, but under a stair or in an interior room, possibly your bathroom can also offer safety. Try to protect your body from debris by covering yourself with a mattress or large pillows.
