In my vehicle and burning rubber.

My classroom at school. It was added after the fact and is on the corner of the building. Three of the walls have interior cinder block with exterior brick on the outside. The lone interior wall is cinder block and separates my room from the next classroom. There are two other rooms beyond that. The roof is metal. Of course, that's only IF I have time to get there. My commute with traffic is about 4 minutes. Hauling arse I can get there in two minutes give or take. Let's hope tgat option is never needed.

There’s a room off my basement that is under the front porch. 8x12 and it is reinforced concrete about a foot thick for the roof. Cinder block walls and completely under ground. Only opening is a regular wood door but the rest of the basement is mostly underground.

In my FEMA P361 shelter

I might can fit in my freezer

I've always wondered what weird shite gets blown out of homes during storms and are people scrambling to pick it up or at least toss it in the neighbor's yard before a bunch of people show up.

Is trying to get out of its way in the car any less safe than being vulnerable and immobile in a house with no basement or safe room?

EF4s and EF5s don’t leave much behind except the slab.

Yes.

I have seen the Tuscaloosa news coverage before, and that was essentially the insstructions for anyone. "If you can't get underground, out of the way is your only chance."
