Should you drive away in a tornado or stay in a house?

Generally you should shelter in place during a tornado as you are more likely to survive if caught in your house than if caught in a car. Evacuating from a tornado is not as simple as it sounds, as the paths of tornadoes can be unpredictable and it is possible to get stuck in traffic since peak tornado activity often coincides with the evening rush hour. That said, if you are in a mobile home when a tornado is coming you should leave it for sturdier shelter.

What happens to an animal if it gets caught in a tornado?

Unfortunately many animals do die in tornadoes, depending on the strength of the tornado. Animals will naturally hide, and I would imagine that they generally make it through such situations because most are quite small and obviously can't get caught in a car or a collapsing house when a tornado strikes, and certainly those that can hide underground probably come out unscathed most often.
