Any part of a home can be impacted by a tornado, depending on how strong it is. A weak tornado will probably not damage more than the exterior. The basement is the least likely part to be affected, but an EF5 tornado could easily remove a house from its foundation and expose the basement to the winds.

What do you do when there's a blizzard and tornado?

Fortuneately, it is impossible for the same place to be hit by a tornado and a blizzard at the same time. During a blizzard stay inside and do what you can to keep warm. Do not leave your home unless it is absolutely necessary. If a tornado is coming get to the lowest part of your house, preferably a basement if you have one. If you don't have a basement go to an interior room on the lowest floor. Stay away from windows. If you live in a mobile home you should leave it for a sturdier shelter.

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.
