Open window during tornado/wind
Open window during tornado/wind
(OP)
I was watching the Weather Channel last night.....and they took on "twister myths". One of them was the old wise tale that if you open the windows/doors of a structure during a tornado.....that will protect it. Well they debunk that one (even though it's just a single door open).

On a personal note: debunked by none other than my old fluids professor Dr. Reinhold. I don't think he's aged a day in 20 years!

1) open all the windows
2) keep all windows shut tight
3) open one window
opening one window is the worst.
What I found most interesting about the video is how quickly the siding got blown off the house. It shows how weakly it is attached to the house.
