Question

Where are bad places to go during a tornado?

Answer 1

Instead of telling you where not to go for a tornado I will tell you what to do during a tornado.

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.

dont go outside since you will have no protection

Answer 3

Never leave your vehicle to go under a viaduct, or to lay down where power lines are overhead

Answer 4

Anyplace which increases your exposure to the tornado and it's high winds, such as increased elevation or weak protection.  That is why the best places are below ground level or if that is not available, in the interior sections of sturdy structures, on the lowest floor.
