A tornado is a very serious weather condition. They are hard to predict and pop out of nowhere. Here are a few tips on how to be prepared for a tornado and what to do when it hits.
First, you need a tornado shelter. A tornado shelter needs to be your most interior room and closes to the ground. A basement or cellar is the best shelter, but if you don’t have any of those, a downstairs bathroom would be good.
To prepare for a tornado, get a tornado box with flashlights, canned goods, water bottles, pet food (if you have one), extra clothes, first aid kit, radio, blankets, cell phone charger, medicine if you have any, helmets, bandages, and extra cash. You can put all these in a box and near or in your shelter.
If there is a tornado, get in your safe spot as fast as you can and stay there until it is safe to come out.
