Believe it or not, we all ready do things to practice at school for tornadoes, like the tornado drills when we all run in to the hallway crouch down next to the wall and cover are necks . Why we go in the hallway is because the hallways in are school don’t have windows so then no glass can cut through you. Why we cover our neck is because if anything is falling down, because of the wind forces of the tornado it won’t fall and hurt your neck.
