SPECIAL TO THE WINDSOCK DISASTERSAFETY.ORG About 1,000 tornadoes occur each year in the United States, causing an av- erage of $1.1 billion in property damage and 80 deaths. These storms vary in intensity and the accompanying damage can result in everything from minor re- pairs to complete destruction with little warning. Most tornadoes are relatively weak, and therefore, primarily damage roofs, windows and trees. While only two percent of tornadoes achieve the most violent and damaging classifi cation, one quarter of tornadoes are powerful enough to cause 90 percent of the damage and two-thirds of the deaths. Tornadoes have a unique destructive power among wind-related natural disas- ters because they concentrate a massive amount of energy in a relatively small area. Tornadoes are classifi ed according to a scale originally developed by and named for Tetsuya (Ted) Fujita, a tornado researcher at the University of Chi- cago. The storms are classifi ed from 0 to 5 with 5 being the most intense. Typi- cally, tornadoes are classifi ed by the damage they cause and then wind speeds are inferred from the damage. Consequently, the scale really is a damage scale rather than a wind speed scale. The strongest tornadoes can generate maximum wind speeds of more than 250 mph, which is enough to destroy most buildings and structures in their path. These maximum wind speeds generate forces that are about twice as large as those generated by the strongest hurricanes. Evaluate your home While only a few specialty buildings are designed to withstand the direct im- pact of a severe tornado, good construction choices can give added protection and increase the likelihood that at least part of a home will remain standing to provide some shelter. Here are some guidelines for good construction choices: •Homes that have been strengthened in critical areas and particularly at con- nection points, such as between the roof and walls and walls and foundation, would have a good chance of surviving intact or with minor cosmetic damage if subjected to a F0 or F1 tornado or the outer edges of a stronger tornado. •Homes in inland areas of the United States have little resistance to uplift and lateral loads. Construction where all parts of the building are well connected is more common in hurricane-prone areas, but should also be considered by any- one who wants to increase their property’s protection from other severe wind- storms. Plan in advance •The most economical and effective way to provide a safe place for riding out a tornado is to have a tornado shelter. •Short of building or installing a tornado shelter, you should identify the safest area of your home. This is usually the basement or a small interior room without windows, such as a bathroom, where you can ride out the storm. Be sure you can easily access this area when a tornado threatens. The more walls between you and the outside, the better. •To reduce the risk of injury from windborne debris and broken glass, stay away from windows and doors. Replace rock/gravel landscaping material with shred- ded bark. •Keep trees and shrubbery trimmed. Cut weak branches and remove pine trees that could fall on your home. •Keep exterior doors and windows closed to minimize rain and fl ying debris. Closing interior doors will also help to compartmentalize the building and pro- vide more barriers between you and the storm. •Having time to seek shelter in severe weather situations is critical. •Decide in advance where you will take shelter (a local community shelter, your own underground storm cellar or in-residence “safe” room) and create a family plan. •Identify escape routes from your home and neighborhood and designate an emergency meeting place for your family to reunite if you become separated. Also establish a contact person to communicate with concerned relatives. •Put together an emergency kit that includes fi rst aid supplies, a portable NOAA all-hazard radio, a fl ashlight, fresh batteries, basic tools, work gloves, portable lanterns, a signaling device such as an air horn, prescription medications, extra car keys, extra eyeglasses, cash and important documents such as insurance policies.
