Tornadoes are capable of tremendous destruction and can have devastating consequences. They are most common in the Central Plains and southeastern US, but they have been reported in all 50 states, according to the National Weather Service. Tornadoes kill an average of 60 people a year in the United States, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Tornadoes are one of the most violent and powerful types of weather. They consist of a very fast rotating column of air that usually forms a funnel shape. They can be very dangerous as their high speed winds can break apart buildings, knock down trees, and even toss cars into the air.

Be Ready!

If a tornado warning is issued for your area, the likelihood of a tornado is very real. Advances in technology have let meteorologists at the National Weather Service forecast when disasters may strike with more and more precision. But knowing that a disaster is coming is not enough. Having a plan actually makes you feel safer — knowing what to do in an emergency means that you are prepared for a disaster and will be able to help yourself and others to be safe.
If you're home

If you have a basement, go there and seek shelter under sturdy furniture.

If you don't have a basement, take cover in the center part of your house on the lowest floor. The best options are a small room, or else under sturdy furniture.

Don't open the windows; it takes too much time and allows strong winds to enter your building.

Try to stay away from windows and just take cover.

If you're in school, a shopping center, or another public place

Move to the pre-designated shelter areas.

If you don't know where that is, move to a center hallway on the lowest floor.

If you think that the building you're in is old or unsafe, move quickly to a nearby newer building, or else take cover outside on low, protected ground.

Be sure to stay out of auditoriums, gymnasiums, and other structures with wide free-span roofs — these offer little protection since wide roofs can fall in during tornadoes.

If you're in open country

Move away from the tornado's path at right angles.

If there isn't time to get out of the way, lie down flat in the nearest ditch or ravine.

If you're in a car

Don't try to outrun a tornado.

If possible, take shelter in a sturdy structure.

Otherwise, get out of the car and move to the nearest ditch or depression until the tornado passes.
