Tornadoes - Florida Climate Center

In reading the recommendations so far, I may go to the laundry room, closet near center of house or hallway between two bedrooms. I just don’t know which one I will try first.
Usually cat 1 or 2, Oklahoma you can bet a system will have 20 or 30 cat 1 or 2 trailing cat 4 or 5. Many Oklahoma tornados leave only concrete slabs (even tore the water pipes off) as wide as mile or more and has even sucked asphalt off highways. In Oklahoma you best be under ground when warning coming your way. I'll take anywhere in Florida than Moore ok. I spent 20 years in Oklahoma and when under tornado threat of any kind you take it deadly serious.
