45. The idea of sending people outside when a tornado is coming is ludicrous.

As far as I know, the only kind of natural disaster where going outside is advised would be an earthquake. (I guess to avoid being buried in the rubble?)

I've lived in the tornado prone midwest most of my life, and the last place I would ever want to be in a tornado is outdoors.
