Is it true that if you stand in the eye of a tornado it won't hurt you?

No. Although the eye of a tornado is calm, you have to get through the extreme winds of the core to get in and out. The eye of a tornado is small enough that unless the tornado is large and slow-moving, you will not be in the eye for more than a few seconds.


Which is bigger an F5 tornado or a F1 tornado?

In most cases an F5 tornado will be larger than an F1. However, tornado ratings are a measure of the strength of a tornado, not its size. F5 is the strongest category, and such tornadoes are usually very large, but a few have been fairly small. Conversely, F1 is the second lowest rating (F0 is the lowest) and such tornadoes are generally small, but some have been huge.


What gets destroyed in a tornado?

It depends on how strong the tornado is. A weak tornado (EF0 or EF1) will generally only destroy small trees and weakly built structures such as sheds and fences. Stronger structures will only take minor to moderate damage. A strong tornado (EF2 or EF3) will destroy most trees, vehicles, and some buildings. A violent tornado (EF4 or EF5) will destroy just about everything in its path.


What happens when tornadoes combine?

When tornadoes merge they simply become one tornado large than either of the original two. It is an unusual occurrence and most of the time that it does happen it involves a large tornado absorbing a small one without being much affected.
