go to the nearest in ground swimming pool and "dive" when you see the twister.

I couldn't remember if it was myth or not. Figured someone would prove me wrong.
Sidenote: if you have seen what a tornado can do you would never joke about it.
Saw the entire town of Colgate, OK wipe off the face of the earth

Do you have stairs? Our 1/2 bath is under our stairs. That's where we would go.
This.
I got a 1/2 bath and a closet under stairs. Really my only 2 options. Hopefully its a closet with a lot of coats and shite in it. climb in them.

The layout of our house is almost a T shape with lots of open area and windows. Every closet is probably within 20 feet of an outside wall with no stairs.

It's important that you write your name with a permanent marker on your legs and arms so the authorities can put your parts together.

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.
Article references hurricanes, but worth noting:
Don’t Allow Your Garage Door to Become Your Home's Weakest Link This Hurricane Season
quote:
“Reinforced garage doors are critical to preserving a home’s structural integrity during a hurricane,” says Mark Westerfield, manager of product development and engineering for residential and commercial garage door manufacturer Clopay Building Products.
Because of their size, garage doors are more susceptible to wind damage than other exterior openings – especially two-car garage doors. Unless you have a tested, wind rated door installed, high winds can force it out of the opening, causing an uncontrolled buildup of internal pressure and ultimately a blowout of the roof and supporting walls.
To meet the International Building Code, garage doors must have additional bracing, heavier gauge tracking and other necessary hardware to help keep them in place under extreme winds.
“Homeowners with an older garage door may not even realize that it poses a threat,” Westerfield adds. “A reinforced door is a small investment that can minimize major damage and property loss. And, if your door has weathered a previous hurricane, it needs to be inspected for hidden damage or vulnerabilities.”
He offers these tips on what to look for when selecting a hurricane reinforced garage door:
Make sure your garage door meets the wind load requirements for your geographic region. The local building code authority can provide current information and a professional garage door technician can perform an on-site inspection.

Not a vehicle. Tornadoes do a great job of flinging those through the air. The water tower in Topeka was covered with dents from all the cars that hit it.

Not a tahoe but you get the idea. Corolla from 2011 Smithville, MS tornado

The garage door better not fail. That is what protects my boat.
P.S. That's how the humble brag is done.
