Tornado myths

Tornadoes are powerful storms that can do a lot of damage. They are sometimes scary, but it's important to remember that a lot of the things you hear about them are false. These are called tornado myths. For example, one myth is that opening the windows of your house will stop a tornado. This isn't true at all! In fact, opening the windows during a tornado can make the storm even worse. Other tornado myths include thinking that you can outrun a tornado, lying face down on the ground will keep you safer, and that tornadoes only form in the Midwest. None of these are true either! The best way to stay safe during a tornado is to take shelter in a safe place like a basement and follow safety instructions.
