Build Underground Shelters for Tornadoes and Fallout
Tornadoes have claimed over 9 000 lives and caused more than a billion dollars in damage since 1916. University of Illinois safety expert O L Hogsett recommends underground shelters as the safest option, with basements or separate structures built sturdy using concrete blocks and earth cover. Include food tools and water, place shelters away from debris, and face entrances northeast.
