A wind greater than 90 mph can lift a person off the ground. If a person gets tossed out of the wind field they simply fall back to the ground. Some, whole do not have far to fall, have escaped without serious injury.

How do tornados hurt people?

Most injuries/fatalities from tornadoes are caused by flying debris striking people. The other way is unfortunately when the tornado catches people in the open and can literally pick them off the ground and they are severely injured/killed again by debris or being tossed back to the ground.

Were people prepared for the tri state tornado?

No. Back in 1925, when this tornado ocurred, there were no tornado waatches or warnings. In fact, meterologists were forbidden to mention tornadoes in their forecasts for fear of starting a panic. As a result, the Tri-State tornado struck without warning. Because of the wide funnel and low cloud base, many people who saw it approaching did not even realize it was a tornado.

Where does a tornado take you?

Nowhere in particular. If a tornado picks you up (which actually doesn't happen as often as many people think) it will just carry you some distance before dropping you back down.
