Usually a place has to be hit by a tornado directly in order for there to be fatalities. However very strong tornadoes can throw or carry debris incredible distances. Debris was seen falling as much as a mile away from the F5 tornado that hit Oklahoma City on May 3, 1999. Tornadoes that strong are extremely rare, however.
