Where is a root cellar when you need one?

Living in Northern California, tornados are not something I worry about. Ever. Today when my Mother-in law called saying she was driving through a huge thunderstorm and KFBK was reporting a tornado heading straight for Woodland, I started worrying. She and my daughter had just gotten out of the theater and were heading home when the thunderstorm hit. I told them to get to Raleys and go inside away from the windows. They did, and the storm passed without much damage other than heavy rain and some hail.

We do get severe weather here, mostly too much rain leading to local flooding. When that happens I usually wish I had built a two story house, today I wished I had dug a root cellar.
