What to do in a tornado when you are at a hotel?

I am in the 14th floor of a hotel in a city. There is currently a tornado Watch, what do I do if there is a warning?


Run downstairs. Get in a hallway away from any windows. Sit down and cover your head with a pillow. There should be a map that tells you what to do or you can call the desk.

I would just stay in the lobby downstairs and watch the news down there, if theres a warning then see if the have a tornado safe room, or go into a bathroom ( without windows) basically you dont want to be near any windows and you want to be in the center of your house/hotel. I'm sure you'll be fine, try not to stress.

get away from windows most best bets are to go in the bathroom and grab onto a toilet or onto the piping in the sink seeing that it is usually cemented down into the foundation of the house.

i used to live in Oklahoma most motels had a tornado basement built for this exact reason
