[quote=Anonymous]Teach her basic safety for this area. Identify the basement area or other low-level, inner room (usually a bathroom) to go to. Tell her to grab her phone (if she has one) and shoes and go in there. The phones will all start to go off, although when the tornado from a few years ago hit here (actually touched down at the end of my block), it had already passed before the phone alarm went. Grownups have your purse/phone/wallet/car keys and shoes with you (I also grab our passports) and sit it out. Even with it being that close, the most damage we had was some larger branches down in the yard, and the wind blew out the tumblers in our front door lock so we couldn’t use the key and had to replace the front door lock. It DOES sound a bit like a train. This area is so unlikely to have an event that leads to fatalities. Property damage, sure, but if you are in the safe place it really is unlikely.[/quote]
