Senior, the tornado question has arisen on many threads and is a concern, especially for those who are new to them. We presently live in one of the most tornado active areas in the US, that being Nroth Central Alabama. During our two tornado seasons, spring and fall, it can be very active. We have had as many as 10+ in one day. Three weeks ago we had an active day and had 4 in a 5 hour period. One was very destructive, the others smaller. With that being said, tornados are unlike anyother weather you will ever know. You get minimal warning. We have sirens that go off and maybe we get 10 minutes. UNLESS you are in a manufactured home, and most move to shelter, the absolute worse thing you want to do is driving/getting someplace. The best to do, is shelter in place. Go to your bathroom or small interior closet, take a quilt, or heavy blanket pillows, etc to help protect your head, a battery radio and your cell phone. If no room like that get under a heavy table. Do not do into a garage or near doors/windows, etc!!!! If out in your vehicle, and you see one, do not try to outrun it stop. Get OUT and seek the closest strong cover. In TV the golf cart tunnels are excellent! Protect your head, most injury/deaths from tornados is debris striking you.
Hope this helps.
