Living out your whole life in tornado alley, you still may or may not see a tornado in your life. The odds of being in a tornado are probably about 1/300. Over an entire life....maybe less.

depends on the strength of it. if your sheltered, you should be fine. but if your outside during a tornado it's possible. **The odds are good if you are caught without cover underground in a F3 tornado.

Can more than one tornado hit one spot?

Yes. After an area has been hit by a tornado the odds of a tornado striking it in the future are the same as they were before. One notable case is the town of Harvest, Alabama. On April 3, 1974 it was struck by an F5 tornado, followed by another F5 less than an hour later. Harvest was then struck by an F4 tornado in 1995, an EF5 tornado in 2011, and an EF3 tornado in 2012. The 2012 tornado destroyed homes being rebuilt following the one in 2011.

What would happen to you if you were in a negative f5 tornado?

There is no such thing as a negative F5 tornado. In an F5 tornado, depending on what part of the tornado hits you and what point its at in its life cycle the building you are in would likely be severely damaged or destroyed. A house may be completely blown away. However, as statistics have shown the odds are in your favor of surviving, especially if you have taken adequate cover. That said, if the worst part of the tornado strikes where you are, not even being in the basement will guarantee your survival.

Actual numerical data is not available, as it is doubtful than anyone has studied this. However, the odds are probably in the groundhog's favor.
