Just take any of your most important and valued items in the basement with you and your family together. If you have any pets, I suggest you take them with you. Just stay calm and use matresses or something else to shield you, just in case. I live in IA, which is in tornado valley. I'm used to these kind of storms. Don't worry, if they ever do hit, it is extremely unlikely for it to strike your house. :)
