Tornado Safety Question
Posted on 2/23/16 at 9:57 am

Without storm shelters or an interior closet that you think would hold if a tornado hit, where is the best place in the house to go?
The most structurally sound part of our house is the garage which is all brick except for the door and the neighbors and I were discussing the merits of getting inside your tahoe in the garage versus other areas in the house that have stucco walls on the outside, bathtubs that are in exterior rooms, etc.

couldn't think of something original for the replacement thread?

Brick isn't structural

Honda Accord would be the other option.

Jump in the bathtub I guess. Grab a mattress or two and lay it on top

Garage is a horrible idea. Go to the room that has a door and the most walls between you and the outside.

windowless room in the center of the house.

Why don't you get in you BWM and race everyone out of town.

Away from glass, garage is a terrible idea.
You don't have any center hallway in your house?

Do you have stairs? Our 1/2 bath is under our stairs. That's where we would go.

We all hit the sectional in the basement and watch TV...

Leave front door and back door open to relieve pressure change.

Myth.
Bonus weather myth:
quote:
"You should crack open your windows to stabilize pressure."
This is one that gets tossed around with hurricanes and tornadoes alike. When you're in the middle of either, the last thing you want to do is open your windows because when violent wind gets in, it's going to look for a violent way out. Your windows will be broken from the outside long before your home gets close to any part of the hurricane where the pressure is sufficient to do damage on its own. On top of that, buildings aren't air tight. There are enough little openings all over any building that it'd be very hard to build up enough pressure for anything to explode.
Bonus weather myth:

"Taping up windows prevents them from shattering."
No. No it does not. In fact, it can make matters worse. When untaped windows get hit with flying debris, they're liable to shatter into a million tiny pieces. Sure, that sounds bad, but consider the alternative. When taped windows are hit with debris, they still break, but into larger, more menacing, dangerous pieces. These are the shards that could cause really damage to you. So forget the tape; it's just a pain to clean up afterwards anyway
