Most extremely deadly tornadoes happened in the first half of the twentieth century or earlier because there was no warning system. People rarely knew a tornado was coming unless they could see or hear ait, and by that time it was often too late to take cover.
Nowadays most tornadoes prompt a warning at least a few minutes in advance, giving people a chance to get to safety. On May 3, 1999 an F5 tornado tore through the Oklahoma City area. The tornado killed 36 people, but it is estimated that advance warning saved as many as 600 lives.
