It is now believed that a solid structure no windows or doors open has.
Open windows and doors during tornado.
The other argument that opening the windows on one side of the house and not the other might cause more internal air pressure is also false.
Leave the windows alone.
Cracking the windows could even cause a house to explode.
Many people near a tornado tell of their ears popping due to the pressure change.
Open windows and doors in other words resulted in an airborne roof source.
Researchers found it didn t hold up.
Opening the windows is absolutely useless a waste of precious.
Windows should be opened before a tornado to equalize pressure and minimize damage.
Opening a window brings in high pressure air which then must escape.
That s usually out other windows or doors or through the ceiling or roof.
A better defense is covering openings with reinforced plywood so air flows over not into the house.
Leaving windows open actually caused the force of the tornado to push up on the roof of the house while the gusts of the twister lifted the roof.
