What would happen to you if you were in a negative f5 tornado?

There is no such thing as a negative F5 tornado. In an F5 tornado, depending on what part of the tornado hits you and what point its at in its life cycle the building you are in would likely be severely damaged or destroyed. A house may be completely blown away. However, as statistics have shown the odds are in your favor of surviving, especially if you have taken adequate cover. That said, if the worst part of the tornado strikes where you are, not even being in the basement will guarantee your survival.


Can more than one tornado hit one spot?

Yes. After an area has been hit by a tornado the odds of a tornado striking it in the future are the same as they were before. One notable case is the town of Harvest, Alabama. On April 3, 1974 it was struck by an F5 tornado, followed by another F5 less than an hour later. Harvest was then struck by an F4 tornado in 1995, an EF5 tornado in 2011, and an EF3 tornado in 2012. The 2012 tornado destroyed homes being rebuilt following the one in 2011.

Can there be a tornado that ends but then have another tornado at the same time?

If you mean to ask if one tornado can form after another has dissipated, yes. Supercells, the storms most likely to produce tornadoes, often go through cycles. They can spawn can spawn multiple tornadoes one after another in what is called a tornado family. Sometimes the next tornado in the family will form before the current one has dissipated, resulting in there being two tornadoes at the same time.
