Jamal's answer is partially correct, but it’s important to clarify. During a tornado, the safest place to be is usually in a small, windowless interior room on the lowest floor of a building, such as a basement, storm cellar, or a bathroom or closet on the first floor.

If a basement is not available, being on the first floor in a well-constructed building is better than being outside, but it is crucial to choose an interior room away from windows. So while the first floor can be safe, the key is to seek the most secure area within that floor.
