We all know that heading to the basement is the thing to do in the event of a tornado.But as News 12's Bryan Piatt explains, there are more things you need to know... as well as some long-held beliefs that aren't true.NATS- DoorGetting to low ground is the best thing you can do in severe weather.But what if you are out on the road?Denise Wright says, "Never, ever try to outrun a tornado, you won't win."Officials tell us today you should seek shelter or even climb into a culver if there isn't a risk of flooding.Bryan Piatt says, "If you can't find shelter a recent report says to pull over to the side of the road and stay in your car with the engine running."Beth Lapp says, "Bend over, cover your head. If you have your emergency blanket with you or anything you want to cover up with that too."NATS-SirensOne thing you may not know about tornado sirens.Denise Wright with Nicollet County says they aren't intended for you to hear inside.Denise Wright says, "That's why it's really important to have a portable radio or a weather radio so you get that information if you are inside and can't hear the sirens."While there are a lot of tips you can use, experts say there's also a lot of false information out there that people need to ignore.First, according to the Red Cross, opening the windows in your house will not even out the pressure.Beth Lapp says, "Take that time that you would be opening up your windows and get to a safe place."And it doesn't matter what side of the basement you're in.Beth Lapp says, "A tornado is a spinning windstorm. Your wind direction is going to be coming from every way if you are right on top of it."And maybe the biggest advice of the day:"Be aware of their surroundings. Know what's happening. Watch the weather. If there's that potential, know where to go."Bryan Piatt, News 12.If you live in an apartment you should move to the lowest level if possible but if you don't have time, go to the room in the middle of your apartment away from windows.
