In answer to Kathy staying on chat we told her to go to her closet and seek shelter but she wouldn't listen.

I have lived the past 12 years in Nashville, TN and Arkansas and we are in the area of what they call Tornado Alley. I grew up in Michigan and did experience tornado's there but at least had a basement. Michigan is nothing like what we have experienced down here.

I have an interior closet that we keep stocked with an emergency kit. It has bottled water, limited medical supplies, like aspirin, bandages, antibacterial ointment, Kleenex, emergency radio and flash light, extra batteries. When we get a warning I put in some edible staples. We also gather up our prescriptions, purse, and wallet. Since we will be sitting on the floor in the closet I throw in pillows to sit on and a large comforter to put over you for protection from any falling or flying objects if needed. Most of this was recommended by our local weather people.

One thing I still need to do is make a back up disc of insurance papers and any other information that could be lost if your home is damaged.
