Tornado Safety Tips
A basement is best. Otherwise choose ground-floor center rooms surrounded by other rooms. Never choose upstairs locations because tornadic wind speeds increase with height above the ground. Choose rooms on the north and east sides of your shelter if no interior rooms are available. Stay near the innermost walls. Avoid rooms on the south and west, because tornados usually travel from southwest to northeast. Choose a small closet or bathroom, because small rooms are less susceptible to collapse. Take shelter within the bathtub if there are no glass tub enclosures or large mirrors nearby.

In Holbrook, the roof of a storage facility at Boston Cedar and Millwork, a building supplier, collapsed under the weight of the snow, leaving a gaping hole. Rick Reuss, the town's emergency management director, said at the scene that the hole appeared to be about 40 feet in length. "It looks like it's going to be a long repair, if not a demolition," he told company operations manager Jim Mulligan....Ice Storm Hits Northeast; 1.25M Without Power
