No. Tornado activity fluctuates from one year to the next. Looking at the number of recorded tornadoes, there appears to have be an increase though the 20th century, but this is entirely due to our increased ability to detect F0 and F1 tornadoes. The number of significant (F2 and stronger) tornadoes in recent years is actually somewhat lower than it was in the 1950s and 1960s.
While 2011 was the most violent year for tornadoes in decades, 2012 and 2013 saw some of the lowest overall tornado activity since the late 1980s.
It isn't. Although the eye of a tornado is relatively calm, to get to it you have to go through the core winds of the tornado. It would be impossible to stay in the eye for very long.
Yes. In developed nations such as the United States all of those who initially go missing in a tornado are accounted for, whether they are found alive or dead.
Somewehere, eventually, yes. In the United States alone, even in the quietest time of the year we generally don't go more than a few weeks without a tornado touching down somewhere. However, we cannot predicte exactly where or when the next one will occur.
"When a tornado warning is issued, we should evacuate and go to Auntie Glen's in Virginia." Said Mom.
Yes. Tornadoes can go up and down hills largely unhindered.
Your rates will probably continue to go up each year, although this is not necessarily due to your aging, but related to the ever-rising costs of health care.
Yes, go on youtube and you'll see that video. Just to let you know the last tornado in Dallas was a really long time ago.
Tornado sirens go off when a tornado warning is issued and during their monthly test.
It's as safe to go this year as it has ever been.
A tornado can go up a mountain across rivers, and even go out into the the ocean or sea.

Generally the basement and the bathroom are the safest places to go during a tornado.
When you see a tornado, go into a secure building or if there are none near you, huddle in a nearby ditch.
The Tornado's max speed is 1,490 mph
It depends. Some people mistakenly refer to the size of a tornado as its length, while width is a more appropriate term. No tornado has ever come close to 10 miles wide. However, in terms of. Path length, or the distance a tornado travels, a tornado can easily go for 10 miles or more. The most destructive tornadoes often have path lengths of 20 to 50 miles.
NO!
The highest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph. Other tornadoes, however, may have had faster winds that simply weren't measured. The fastest known forward speed of a tornado was 73 mph.
