For those of you who would consider an interior closet a place to shelter, if the ceiling is vaulted, and the roof gets blown off, the ceiling will go along with it.

That would be best if there is no alternative.

I am linking you here to an article on tornado safety from NOAA's website. (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) These are basic guidelines.

This morning, we learned that a tornado claimed the life of two people in the Sarasota area, who were in a manufactured home/RV. We need to pay attention to TV, radio and cell phone weather alerts as tornadoes come fast and with little warning!
