When you hear the sirens or a warning on your phone, leave your windows alone. Go to your safe place. Cover up. And stay there until the threat has passed.
For decades, a dangerous piece of folklore has persisted in tornado-prone regions: the belief that opening windows before a tornado hits will equalize pressure and prevent your house from exploding. This advice is not only outdated—it is potentially deadly.
Your life is worth more than a pane of glass.
