Question

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

Jamal said "The highest floor in a building"

Is Jamal correct?

Answer 1

No, Jamal is not correct. During a tornado, the safest place to be is in a small, windowless interior room or basement on the lowest floor of a building. Being on the highest floor can be dangerous because tornadoes tend to create stronger winds at higher elevations and may also cause the building's structure to fail. The best locations are typically away from windows and in sturdy areas like basements or interior rooms.
