Typically March April and Mary are the busy months of tornado season but over the years tornado season has been extended due to occurrences around the country in winter months. Now tornadoes are seen year round and in areas that are not considered high risk. Many people do not have a safe place to go in their home and the safest place to be in a tornado is in an underground tornado shelter designed to protect you in high wind speeds.
