I personally have not, but many people have.
It hit nine towns and the only one I remember the name of was Gorham which was completely destroyed by the tornado.
There were many tornadoes in 1925, but you are most likely referring to the infamous Tri-State tornado. The number of survivors is not known, as we do not know how many people were in the path. The number is likely in the thousands or tens of thousands. At least 2,000 survived with injuries.
Too many to count. In most tornadoes more lives are spared than taken.
Yes. If you look at the statistics, the majority of people affected by a tornado will survive without serious injury.
The Joplin tornado killed 158 people. The City of Joplin has a population of about 50,000 and the tornado destroyed about 1/3 of the city. So that means about 17,000 were impacted by the tornado, nearly all of whom survived.
about 1,100 died. I don't know how many survived. :/ in 1984, 300,000 people were killed but i dont know how many people survived.
There were only 706 people who survived
4 people survived
700 people survived on the titanic
Seek shelter. If you can get yourself underground, that's the best place to be. Although many people assume overpasses provide a safe haven this is far from the truth; they are by far the worst place to be as a large tornado will easily suck you out. See related links for video of the infamous 1991 tornado in which a group survived a small tornado under an overpass, and a link to tornado myths.
If you are picked up by a tornado it is most likely that you will be thrown by it and most likely die on impact. However, in a few cases people have survived being carried by tornadoes with only minor injuries.
