Good luck with that. There are no basements in Louisiana. You might find a few here and there, but they're hard to come by. If and when a tornado hits they're small and around here it's usually in a trailer park or other open areas, not anywhere near big buildings and neighborhoods. Possible, yes. Likely, no. This isn't Kansas, Toto.

IF you find one - don't get in it. It will fill w/ water quick.

We don't even buy our dead below ground in many places around here, let alone a basement....

We don't have basements but here it's best to go into a bathroom if it is in the center of the house without windows. Otherwise a internal hallway is safer than any rooms with windows. There is rarely a tornado that levels the places like in the Midwest, but it can happen. Around here it usually just rips a roof or wall off so inside a small room is safer as there is more structure around a smaller room like a hall or bathroom.
A bathtub is also a good place again there is usually lots of structure around a tub.
Be safe!
