On a serious side, in case of a tornado, most of the houses in TV are 'shelter in place", so go to an interior room or closet and wait out the storm. Personally, I would like the basement option but not available here. We did this for Irma, and apparently one small tornado spun up about .25 miles from our house. Several houses lost some roof shingles, we had a few trees blown over but were able to straighten them out, no other damage. Ian totaled out 6 ceiling panels in the birdcage, so we had all 33 panels replaced, no other damage.
