Head for a sturdy building if one is nearby. Otherwise, if it is heading toward you and is still in the distance you should try to drive perpendicular or diagonal to its path, depending on what the roads will allow, to get out of its way. If it is getting close get out of the car and lie in a ditch as a last resort.

If a tornado comes what should you do?

I would assume that when the tornado hits you are going to be in your car as per the category this was posted under. If you are in your car during a tornado, you should find a ditch and lay in in on your stomach away from your car. If you cannot find a ditch it is suggested to get out of your car and lay under the vehichle in such a manner that if the car would roll either direction the car would not roll on top of you and the car would protect you from debris that is carried by the strong winds.

Yes. You are safer inside a sturdy building than in a car. A tornado does not have to be very strong to lift or roll a car. A car is provably the worst place to be in a tornado after a mobile home.
