What should you do if a tornado comes when you're in your home in the open or a car?

If you are at home, go to you basement or cellar. If you don't have a basement, seek shelter in an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor. If you are in a mobile home, seek shelter elsewhere. If you are in a car, seek shelter in underground or in a nearby sturdy building. If none is available and the tornado is still distant, get out of its path. If you doubt that you can escape, get out of the car and seek shelter in a ditch or depression. Do NOT seek shelter under a bridge. If you are in the open anc cannot get to shelter, take cover in a ditch or depression.

Where was the biggest F5 tornado?

It is not known for certain, but a likely candidate was the tornado that hit Seneca, Kansas on May 27, 1896. At one point the tornado was 2.2 miles wide. The largest tornado ever recorded was the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013, measured at one point to be 2.6 miles wide. This tornado was officially rated EF3 as it was over open country when it reached peak intensity and so caused relatively little damage at that point. Radar analysis, however, suggests that it may have reached EF5 intensity.
