All good suggestions and simple to organize in a few minutes. Go to an interior area, closet or tub. Use some blankets, pile of clothes, or other covering that is manageable for your body type for an immenent situation (think tornado). The idea is for some protection from projectiles. A heavier object, ie mattress, if caught in a prolonged situation is preferrable and you could not evacuate (severe hurricane).
Be safe.
