Its Tornado season again in Georgia. We thought it would be a good idea to debunk some of the more common tornado myths.
leave the windows alone when a tornado may be coming. It’s a myth that tornadoes cause houses to explode due to changes in air pressure.
Anywhere in a low place in the home is safe. The southwest corner of the basement is just as safe as any other corner, or middle, of the basement. The best place to be is away from all windows.
Tornadoes can happen anywhere, including California and other states in the continental U.S. Tornadoes don’t just happen in “Tornado Alley.”
Tornadoes cause a lot of debris to be blown around and you can he hurt by this debris. Getting under a highway overpass is NOT safe.
Tornadoes do not “suck” houses, cars, cows, or people, up into the funnel. Their strong winds, however, can blow large objects, including cars, hundreds of feet away.
