Where to go for tornadoes?

Sorry to be one of the people joining in on this, but I genuinely need to know before tomorrow because I am located near the areas expecting an extremely high chance of tornadoes/severe weather tomorrow. I moved into an apartment and I just cant seem to wrap my head around how to find the best place in an apartment. At my parents house we just go to the basement.

Anyway, it’s all one story above ground, slab, all brick, older buildings, like from the 80’s maybe? Possibly older, the town is very old with buildings from the 1800’s.

Tysm in advance, I saw the post come up on my feed and thought that it might be best to ask here so I can be prepared for tomorrow!

Best place to take cover in an apartment?

I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment building. The front doors are in a hallway, think of it like a hotel. The building is built like a U. On the first floor one side of the hallways are garages, the other side (inside of the U) are more apartments. I’m assuming if I need to get to safe space I need to get to the first floor in the hallway? But they are such long hallways, it seems scary. Realistically what is the best place in this scenario?

My house has no basement and I'm wondering were to in a tornado. Back in Washington Illinois I had a basement and installed a tornado shelter when rebuilding my house after the EF4.

Where do i take shelter during a tornado?

Sorry if this isn’t allowed. My house has a weird layout, i think part of it used to be a trailer but idk for sure. Me and my family cant decide where we should shelter at, we have animals too. I attached a drawing of my house layout (sorry for the bad quality!), can you guys tell me where i should shelter at?

Which is safer place to shelter?

So I'm planning on spending some time at my partner's place tonight, and there are some nasty storms in the forecast. Their apartment doesn't have a storm shelter. The only interior room is the bathroom, but its on the 2nd floor. There is kind of a basement? But it doesn't close. There's just a big opening at the top of a few stairs for this really small room. Which one is the safer option for taking shelter?
