Question

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

Jamal said "Near a window just in case"

Is Jamal correct?

Answer 1

No, Jamal's suggestion of being near a window during a tornado is not safe. During a tornado, it is recommended to seek shelter in a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building, away from windows. Windows can shatter due to flying debris, putting anyone nearby at significant risk of injury. The safest places are typically reinforced areas, such as storm shelters, or the interior parts of a home away from windows and exterior walls.
