Hi, What kind of safety drill would one make if staying in an Apartment Complex. The Apt. Complexes are shared by all and the only place where one could go in a Tornado Warning is the Laundry Roon on the lowest floor or maybe, the corridor on the lowest floor. Is that considered safe enough in case of Tornado Warnings ? How strong are the Apt. structures, if made by brick, in case of tornadoes ? Thanks Shekhoo -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/ Now offering spam-free web-based newsreading

Hi fromtornado alley, We in Texas have lived with the exciting and deadly tornados since we were born. I lost a cousin to one three years ago. He was in a mobile home, tornado bait, on the family farm, when it was hit. The best place is on the lowest floor, in the inner most section, get in between a door jam or a something that has substaintial framing. A closet for instance. You are being very smart thinking ahead, that is the mostimportant thing you can do, have a plan. The odds of being hit are very, very high so don't obsess on it ok?
