If you have been through a tornado then you know how chaotic it can be. Before you faced with another severe storm you should find out the best places for you to take shelter. Planning where you will go, depending on where you are at the time the storm strikes, is best done well before a tornado is imminent. The biggest danger with a tornado is flying debris. Therefore you want to choose shelter that will minimize your exposure to flying debris.
Storm Shelters and Best Places to be During a Tornado
During the spring and fall in the United States as the seasons change, large masses of cold air come out of the arctic through Canada and converge with warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico in an area called Tornado Alley. Tornado Alley stretches across the middle of the country from Texas to North Dakota and is an area where tornadoes frequently form. Each year, these powerful storms kill dozens of people and injure hundreds as they rip through communities. Although some of these deaths and injuries are unpreventable, the death toll can be reduced if you know where to go and where to seek shelter during a tornado.
