It is possible, but it is a very bad idea. An F1 tornado can carry dangerous debris and the winds can pick up and throw a person. Additional threats may come from the parent thunderstorm in the form of lightning and large hail. Finally, it is impossible to tell exactly how strong a tornado is before it hits and even then a tornado can strengthen rapidly.

Where should you go outside when a tornado occurs?
You should not even need to go outside during a tornado. Let's say you forgot something outside and a tornado is there. Should you go out? NO! Because it is very scary to go outside during a tornado. But you should gather your family together, and then go in a basement or closet. Try to keep safe.
Would an F1 tornado kill you?
F1 tornadoes can kill, but they rarely do. So an F1 tornado is unlikely to kill you, but you should still take safety precautions to reduce your risk, especially since you can't tell how strong a tornado is before it hits.
What are the wind speeds of an F1 tornado?
Estimated wind speeds for an F1 tornado on the original Fujita Scale are 73-112 mph. These were found to be inaccurate, though, and were adjusted to 86-110 mph for an EF1 tornado.
Can a tornado keep you inside?
Considering that you shouldn't go outside during a tornado, yes. You are much safer inside.
How bad an F1 tornado?
The scale runs from F0 (not very bad at all) F5 (incredible destruction) so an F1 would be considered a relatively weak tornado.
Has a f1 tornado killed a person?
Yes. F1 tornadoes rarely kill, but deaths have been recorded. In all they account for about 4% of tornado deaths in the United States.
Which is bigger an F5 tornado or a F1 tornado?
In most cases an F5 tornado will be larger than an F1. However, tornado ratings are a measure of the strength of a tornado, not its size. F5 is the strongest category, and such tornadoes are usually very large, but a few have been fairly small. Conversely, F1 is the second lowest rating (F0 is the lowest) and such tornadoes are generally small, but some have been huge.
Is f1 the biggest tornado?
No. For one thing, Fujita (F) scale ratings measure the strength of a tornado, not its size. F1 is the second weakest rating a tornado can get (F0 is the weakest). Weak tornadoes such as this are generally small, but occasionally can be large. The highest rating a tornado can get is F5.
