Countless people have survived tornadoes. Thousands survived tornadoes in 2011 alone. In almost all cases more people will survive a tornado that be killed by it.

Some notable survivors of tornadoes include Matt Suter, who was carried 1300 feet by a tornado in Missouri in 2006, the farthest a person has been carried by a tornado and survived. Rock legend Elvis Presley, at the time only a toddler, survived the Tupelo, Mississippi tornado of 1936, the 4th deadliest tornado in U.S. history. A young Thomas P. Grazulis survived the Worcester, Massachusetts tornado of 1953, the 20th deadliest in the U.S. He would grow up to be one of the foremost experts on historic tornadoes.
