Fot those of you who do dnot have basments, move to the lowest level of your home and get into the smallest, central room (which is usually the closet). The object is to get as low as you can and to get as many walls in between you and the tornado.
I would probably keep some type of emergency kit (flashlights, water, etc.) in that closet just in case.
That urban legend of opening all the windows is a lie and does not work.
Also, I read that for those folks who live in areas where a basement cannot be built, you can have "safe rooms" built unto your home (These rooms usually also serve as a laundry or storage room). They are able to withstand an F4 tornado, I believe.
