Question

The teacher asked the class "Name a place that is safe to be during a tornado storm."

Jamal said "Outside."

Is Jamal correct?

Answer 1

No, Jamal is not correct. During a tornado storm, being outside is actually very dangerous. The safest place to be during a tornado is indoors in a sturdy building, preferably in a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows. Staying outside exposes individuals to flying debris and the high winds associated with tornadoes, which can cause serious injury or death.
