I am doing a project and I need to know this!!!

Answer
IF YOU ARE IN A:
A structure (e.g. residence, small building, school, nursing home, hospital, factory, shopping center, high-rise building)


Go to a pre-designated shelter area such as a safe room, basement, storm cellar, or the lowest building level. If there is no basement, go to the center of an interior room on the lowest level (closet, interior hallway) away from corners, windows, doors, and outside walls. Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside. Get under a sturdy table and use your arms to protect your head and neck.
In a high-rise building, go to a small interior room or hallway on the lowest floor possible.
If available, put on a bicycle or motorcycle helmet to protect yourself from head injuries.
Put on sturdy shoes.
Do not open windows.

IF YOU ARE IN A: trailer or mobile home

Get out immediately and go to the lowest floor of a sturdy, nearby building or a storm shelter. Mobile homes, even if tied down, offer little protection from tornadoes.

IF YOU ARE IN A: The outside with no shelter

Immediately get into a vehicle, buckle your seat belt and try to drive to the closest sturdy shelter.
If your vehicle is hit by flying debris while you are driving, pull over and park.
Stay in the car with the seat belt on. Put your head down below the windows; cover your head with your hands and a blanket, coat or other cushion if possible.
If you can safely get noticeably lower than the level of the roadway, leave your car and lie in that area, covering your head with your hands
Do not get under an overpass or bridge. You are safer in a low, flat location.
Never try to outrun a tornado in urban or congested areas in a car or truck. Instead, leave the vehicle immediately for safe shelter.
Watch out for flying debris. Flying debris from tornadoes causes most fatalities and injuries.

If you are strongly interested in science, will you please answer my questions about tornadoes?

Q. 1. Do huge tornadoes, like the one in Oklahoma today, happen in Saskatchewan or Alberta (two provinces in Canada)?
2. If you knew a tornado was coming, do you have enough time to get into your car and drive away? I am moving into a trailer park out of town and there is nowhere to hide (due to not having a basement). Is it safe to get as far away from the town/area as possible?
3. Do yo believe that government can actually cause these storms to happen? Do you believe that the storms are this big because the government wants to lower their population? Please let me know your thoughts on those conspiracy theories.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer these.

Answer
no the goverment isnt causing them. In certain parts of the country YES you can drive away because the roads are set up N S E W and STRAIGHT. You can drive SSTRAIGHT aaway from anything but in the most of the coungtry, the roads loop around and raods are NOT NSEW. (north south east or west). It depends where you live. Also, buy a bicycle helmet and keep near your designated storm shelter to protect your head. I actually also have ropes to tie my kids to my body and tie us to the faucet (which is cemeted into the ground) incase we have a tornado here.

If there's a tornado should I hide in a bathtub on exterior walls or closet with a washer and dryer?

if you got caught to a Tornado,how do you die?

Silvercat

you will fly up and die from falling ,you can't breath?what will happen?
what should we do when we meet up with a Tornado?

Answer
You could die many ways,

Most likely things falling on you, or objects piercing your body.

If you can, get below ground level in a basement or cellar.
Otherwise, get to a small room in the interior of your house, such as a closet or bathroom. (get as many walls between you and the outside world).

Keep shoes on your feet, if possible a bicycle helmet on your head, or cover with a mattress or something. Flashlights, cell phone, etc. in your pockets would be a good idea in case you need them to avoid stepping on objects and/or phoning for help.
