It varies. Most F2 tornadoes do not kill, and those that do generally do not kill more than 1 or 2 people. Death tolls of 10 or higher have occurred but are extremely rare. Since 1880 only 9 or 10 F2 tornadoes have resulted in 10 or more fatalities. The deadliest of these hit Charleston, South Carolina on September 29, 1938, killing 27. It was the only such tornado to kill more than 20 people. Most were killed in the collapse of what were probably very poorly built homes. Only one possible F2 tornado since 1950 has 10 or more people. That tornado is officially listed as an F1 but was assessed by a leading tornado expert as an F2, crossed Pomona Lake in Kansas on June 17, 1978, capsizing a boat and drowning 16.
