Abstract: Tornadoes and extreme winds cause heavy loss of life and property damage throughout the United States. Most buildings offer significant protection from this danger, and building administrators should know the areas where this protection is available. This booklet presents a review of three schools, all of which were struck by tornadoes on April 3, 1974. Damage to these buildings from the tornadoes was examined by teams of specially trained architectural and engineering faculty, the various building administrators, and representatives of the architectural firm that designed the buildings. From these studies, guidance has been developed on selecting best-available shelter from high winds in existing buildings. Information in the brochure can also be useful to architects and engineers in designing new buildings that would offer protection from high winds. (Author/MLF)
