There are a number of situations that present a bug-out-else-hunker-down choice. When I worked for Oregon Dome there was a newspaper picture on the wall of a Texas town that looked like an unmade bed, with one white dome standing untouched in the middle.

That's why over a school bus I'd prefer my own motor home shell.



Of course, since I can only dream, a semisubmersible house boat sounds like the best choice.

Tornadoes Put Straw Through Poles | AccuWeather
This site has a personal account describing a tornado that did such a thing in 1942. About.com states that "straw can be driven into telephone poles at speeds as low as 50 mph."...
