The warnings for the Mt.St.Helens eruption 1980, didn't work as well as they should have done because the experts didn't predict that the blast would occur on the north side of the volcano. Therefore the evacuated zones were in the wrong place so the people that died were in the zones considered to be safe!

How many tornado warnings a there in a year?

Last year in 2011, there were over 1800 tornado reports (of which about 1700 were confirmed), but the number of tornado warnings was higher as not all warnings correspond to a formal report. So the number of warnings issued in 2011 was likely well over 2000. However, 2011 was an extremely active tornado season. An average tornado season sees about 1200 tornadoes in the U.S., which would likely work out to about 1800-2000 warnings.
