Tornado Reality

You may hear the term “Tornado Alley” associated with states in the central portion of the United States. This is because many of the central states are reputed to experience more tornados than other areas.

Educate potential roommates about the frequency of tornados in your area. Be sure to tell them about any safety features you have, such as storm cellars or a strengthened roof. Let them know of any precautionary measures taken by local officials. Last, but not least, remind potential roommates that tornados can happen just about anywhere.
