If you actually get hit, you have a fair chance of dying, especially n anything more than an EF3. You are safer in a well-built house. However, in terms of the overall number of deaths your chances of dyring in this situation are quite small. According to Storm Prediction Center data, the average number of tornadic deaths in vehicles in the U.S. is between 6 and 7 per year. This puts your chances of dying in a vehicle from a tornado at less than 1 in 400,000. This includes deaths in all vehicles and not just cars.

What are the odds of dying on the same day as a parent?
This question does not have a definitive answer as it entirely depends on the circumstances. If you and a parent are in a crashing plane or in a severe car crash, like with a semi or train, the odds could easily be 80 to 100 percent you'll both die on the same day. If you and a parent have been diagnosed with incurable brain cancer & you both have exactly 1 month to live, the odds of dying on the exact same day are still unknown but could be relatively high, maybe 60 - 80 percent.. The odds of you and a parent just randomly dying without warning on the same day are so low it pretty much wouldn't happen.
