    During my employment as a real estate maintenance guy, It was my job to fix stuff in both locations.  My employer had over 100+  (mostly old) houses and apartments, including some old 'downtown' commercial buildings. A family living in one of these old dumps complained about a foul odor. I went into the basement to check it out. There was a stream of bluish-black sewage flowing across the dirt floor of basement. Gross. We called in a sewer cleaning guy who found a tampon in the pipe that had expanded and blocked the flow of waste water. The sewer guy said it is common to find tampons stuck in pipes that can break the sewer lines.

    In the cellar. Getting in the attic is almost impossible.

    In a flood type of weather, I would go to the attic - in severe winds I would go to my basement...

    If just trying to hide I'd take to the attic... This post was edited by Beans/SilentGeneration at October 27, 2019 8:58 PM MDT

    I saw that commercial for the first time (with my sister, who loves it, too) only an hour before I read your answer! Ha! It's hilarious!

    Depends on why are you hiding, Tornado Celler.  Bad guys I have a better solution:

    Hmmm... if I say cellar, will you forget about looking for me in the attic?

      "Ok, let me figure this one out.  Is she really in the attic, and trying to make me believe that she's in the cellar, so that when I go to look for her in the cellar, it'll be a waste of my time?  Or is she really in the cellar, and she thinks that I'll think that she's only pretending to be in the cellar, so that I'll go look for her in the attic, once again wasting my time?  Either way, if I waste my time and go to the wrong place, it gives her a chance to slip away completely, so that no matter if I look in the cellar first or the attic first, she gets away.   Decisions, decisions, decisions.  She's clever, but then again, that's one of the million things I like about her.  Grrrrrr."

    Attic.  I know how to push someone out of a window.

    The cellar






    from my favorite movie, "Night of the Living Dead" (1968) :


    Ben
    : How long have guys you been down there? I could have used some help up here!
    Harry: That's the cellar. It's the safest place.

    Actually, I think the cellar would be safer than the attic.  Why?

    In this situation, I do believe keeping it at ground level or under is better. :) :) This post was edited by Merlin at October 28, 2019 8:49 AM MDT

    I admit I don't get the meaning to the lyrics so well to this song but I've always  liked it. And this is a great 'live' version! I enjoyed watching and listening!
