I did a little research about tornado proofing your house. The key culprit is the garage door. When it fails the over pressure in the house blows the roof off, etc.
Growing up in the Midwest, we always opened windows to avoid overpressure before heading to the basement. If you get a direct hit, an open window doesn't stop the straight line winds, but pressure balancing will help keep your roof on as it passes nearby. Now, with even tighter houses, the media never mentions overpressure avoidance.
Well, if the media actually did something useful and gave sound advice it would go against their climate change causing worse storms narrative.
