  1. Move to Nunavut.


  2. Go to a pre-designated shelter area such as a safe room, basement, storm cellar, or the lowest building level. If there is no basement, go to the center of an interior room on the lowest level (closet, interior hallway) away from corners, windows, doors, and outside walls. Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside. Get under a sturdy table and use your arms to protect your head and neck. Do not open windows.

  3. Even though a little late follow these steps next time for tornado preparedness.

    This is the time right now to plan what to do for a tornado and make sure you have a NOAA weather alert radio The radios can alert you when a tornado warning is issued at night while sleeping.

    A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop and you should pay close attention to the weather. A watch it typically issued with in 2-3 hours of the event.

    When a tornado warning is issued that means doppler radar has detected rotation in a storm or trained spotters have spotted a rotating wall cloud, funnel cloud, or a tornado on the ground.

    If a tornado warning is issued for your area, do not panic. Go to a place of safety. Go to the lowest floor of your house like the basement. Once in the basement get under a sturdy piece of furniture or go into a bathroom in the basement. If no basement is available go in to an interior room such as a closet. If that is not available go in to an bathroom without windows. Stay away from outside walls and windows. Cover your head to protect from flying debris. Never try to out run a tornado in a car, if cought in a car and can not take no place of safety, lay down in a ditch and cover your head. Do not take cover under a over pass. Do not stay in mobile homes as they do not offer protection and can be flown as easily as cars can.

    For local weather info. From the National Weather Service.

  4. Put on your "Bicycle Helmet", it will protect your head. Then shut all the doors in the house, locked all doors and windows, board up the windows from the outside to protect them from shattering, shut off the power in the house, gather an Emergency kit, finally head down the basement and hide under a hard surface until you get the all clear.

  5. Calm down... u dont need to freak out unless u know for sure that a tornado is heading your way. if and when a tornado is approching get to a closet. stock up with water, food and  a flash light along with a first aid kit

  6. go to the basement or the lowest ground in your house.  don't go outside.
