OldMtWoman Yes in case of tornado, bath tub is the safest place in some cases. We have one tub and a window in that bathroom. It is not the safest but the linen closet is behind that tub and that and our bedroom closet are the 2 safest places for us. We have four water bobs that we make a stand on garage floor that will hold the water bobs. We set them in that and then fill them up. So they are in garage. We take 8 boards and then a board on each end of the 8 boards to form a box. The 8 boards are 2 on each side and then one board in between each water bob for support. Doing this free’s up the bath tub. but I do fill it up for hurricanes. But I heard on news that for us here in VA that Dorian could spark some tornadoes. So I am rethinking the bath tub and pulling out my 5 gal buckets to fill up for flushing toilets. On that one I am in a wait and see situation to see how VA coast will be effected. If Dorian goes through the Pamlico sound then we will get it much worse for VA. So watching closely.
Hope this helps on the water bobs. Stay safe everyone. This storm is a monster.
