Grab a mattress to throw over you if you have to dive in that tub. It's been known to save lives...

The helmet idea isn't bad either.

Stay safe Chris. I once dodged 38 tornados within 50 miles of my house in Memphis in a 36 hour period back in 2010. Closest one took out a mall 5 miles from my house.

We didn't have a basement either. We were in and out of the closet under the main stair case as I watched and tracked the tornadoes. I let my wife and daughter sleep on the futon in the living room between waves and woke them to get in the closet when they got close.

I swear that was the longest weekend of my life...and sometimes I can still hear the tornado sirens ringing in my ears 7 years later.

Not here, my only shot if it's on a path towards us is To escape it with speed. I have alerts setup for 3 counties away in all directions, hopefully gives me a chance to grab kids an run

My daughter used to put her bike helmet on whenever we heard the sirens. She was only 4 years old but had the drill down pat...Helmet, big stuffed animals and a pillow then stuff herself in the furthest back part of the closet under the stairs that she could and cover with a big heavy comforter.
 
75 mph sustain winds here near me, 8 miles away, crazy this morning, just waiting this out watching this system !!

huh - there was an F1 up here the other day - about 1/2hr away, small town, F-ed 'em up pretty good I guess - they had to declare a state of emergency
 
Supposed to get a round of Tstorms this afternoon with strong winds. Just hope they get out of here early. Need to take the Duster up the road and drop off for alignment and inspection tomorrow
