In my home, we have our own way to deal with tornadoes. If there is ever a tornado warning or watch, we head down to our basement and huddle up against a corner. We also have emergency kits that include food, water, flashlights, and other essentials that might be needed. By doing this, my family and I are being safe and prepared for any disaster that strikes.
