The best shelter from a tornado is a basement or cellar. If none is available an interior rooms, especially a closet or bathroom away from windows is the next best shelter.
The term "mini tornado" does not have an exact definition. It has been applied to a number of different phenomena. Some people have called small whirlwinds such as dust devils mini tornadoes. Such whirlwinds are not actual tornadoes but may superficially resemble them. News outlets in Australia and Europe may sometimes refer to the tornadoes they get as "mini tornadoes," even in instances of large, significant tornadoes. They equivocate like this because they are reluctant to admit that tornadoes occur in those areas. People may occasionally call small, weak tornadoes mini tornadoes.
Tornadoes.
Tornadoes in the U.S. are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale (or the original Fujita scale fore tornadoes Prior to February 2007), which runs from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest. Ratings are based on wind speed estimates derived from the severity of the damage done. About 60% of tornadoes are rated EF0.
To my knowledge that record is held by South Dakota, which experienced 67 tornadoes on June 24, 2003.

Yes, tornadoes can touch down at night. In fact, nighttime tornadoes are often more dangerous because they are difficult to spot and people may be asleep, making it harder to receive warnings and take shelter.
Dealing with tornado's is hard but the only way to deal with them is to build an underground shelter.

Yes. Tornadoes can occur at any time of day or night. About 40% of all recorded tornadoes occur at night.
No, people cannot prevent tornadoes. Tornadoes are natural weather phenomena that form under specific atmospheric conditions and are beyond human control. However, people can take precautions to stay safe during tornadoes by having a plan in place and seeking shelter in designated areas.
Tornadoes can clear out old vegetation, allowing new growth.
After a tornado, aid is brought in to provide temporary shelter, food, water, and medical aid.
Most people would consider that a good thing, as tornadoes cause death, destruction, and suffering.
