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 you need to run for a different shelter"

Is Jamal correct?

Answer 1

No, Jamal is not correct. During a tornado storm, it is generally not safe to be near a window. It’s important to find a sturdy shelter in a designated safe area, such as a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a building, away from windows. Being near a window poses a risk of injury from flying debris or breaking glass. The safest approach is to stay in a secure location away from any windows or outside walls until the storm passes.
