June 11, 2010, Newsletter Issue #203: Where to go?
Tip of the Week
During a tornado, if you are in a house or a building, go to the interior part, or into a storm cellar, basement or the smallest room or an interior closet.
Stay away from windows, overhead light fixtures or items that can fall.
In the cellar or room it is a good idea to get under a table next to a wall preferably the southwest corner.
If you are outside in an automobile, get out and into a permanent structure. If a permanent structure is not available, or if you are out in the open, you should find a ditch or depression that would allow you to get as low as possible and avoid the debris.
Stay away from trees, power lines, tall structures, water, livestock. These can conduct electricity in the form of the lightening that accompanies the storm.
Homes disintegrate not because of low pressure causing them to explode, which is a myth, but because tornado force winds tear off roofs causing the walls to fall down. So, the idea of opening the windows to ease low pressure will not help in the least.
