What is the safest thing to do if your caught outdoors during a tornado?
The safest thing to do if you are caught outdoors during a tornado is to seek shelter immediately in a sturdy building. If there is no building nearby, lie flat in a low-lying area, cover your head with your hands, and be aware of flying debris. Do not try to outrun a tornado in a vehicle or on foot.
If caught outside during a tornado with no shelter?
If caught outside during a tornado with no shelter, try to find a low-lying area like a ditch or ravine. Lie flat and cover your head with your hands to protect yourself from flying debris. Avoid seeking shelter under highway overpasses or bridges, as these areas can be even more dangerous during a tornado.
Will a tornado pull you out of a ditch?
It is possible for a tornado to generate strong enough winds to pick up objects, including a person, from a ditch. It's always important to seek shelter in a safe location during a tornado to avoid being caught in its path.
What happens if you got caught in a tornado?
It depends on how intense the tornado is. If it is an EF-0 tornado, it probably wouldn't even pick you up off the ground. If it were an EF-3 tornado, you will get tossed around up and down, and side to side. Usually, tornadoes don't throw people very high, just a few meters off the ground. If it were an EF-5 tornado, your chances of survival are very, very slim. But people have lived through them. In an EF-5 tornado, the winds can reach and surpass 250 mph. These ferocious winds will toss you like a paper airplane. The debris in all tornadoes is a threat, but debris in an EF-5 tornado are going much faster than you could think possible. Cars can be thrown over half a mile. You would be lucky to survive a tornado of this intensity. You do not twirl up and out of a tornado, the winds cannot take you up that far. Yes, they can throw you a distance from where you originally began. The most likely case is being tossed around in all kinds of directions, with debris flying by you.
Where do people go when they get sucked up by a tornado?
People caught in a tornado can be tossed and carried along with the swirling winds, ending up anywhere within the storm's path. Typically, they can be found scattered over a wide area, depending on the tornado's strength and the distance it carries them.

Can you take a MP5 to the airplane?
Yes as long as you don't get caught with it and get arrested.
Can a tornado pick up an airplane?
It is highly unlikely for a tornado to pick up an airplane due to its heavy weight and design. Airplanes are built to withstand strong winds and turbulence, and they are not easily lifted off the ground by tornadoes.
Should you drive away in a tornado or stay in a house?
Generally you should shelter in place during a tornado as you are more likely to survive if caught in your house than if caught in a car. Evacuating from a tornado is not as simple as it sounds, as the paths of tornadoes can be unpredictable and it is possible to get stuck in traffic since peak tornado activity often coincides with the evening rush hour. That said, if you are in a mobile home when a tornado is coming you should leave it for sturdier shelter.
Can an airplane fly around an tornado and not feel any turbulence?
No, it is usually quite turbulent. Additionally, helicopter pilots flying relatively close to tornadoes have reported fairly strong winds blowing toward the tornado.
What do you do if you are caught in a tornado?
If caught in a tornado it is best to get as low as possible. Preferably in a basement or cellar. If not you should got to an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor.Go to a basement or cellar and crouch down facing a wall. If you don't have one get to the center part of your house away from windows. Abandon cars or mobile homes for sturdier shelter. If caught outside with no access to shelter take cover in a ditch as a last resort.
What happens to an animal if it gets caught in a tornado?
Unfortunately many animals do die in tornadoes, depending on the strength of the tornado. Animals will naturally hide, and I would imagine that they generally make it through such situations because most are quite small and obviously can't get caught in a car or a collapsing house when a tornado strikes, and certainly those that can hide underground probably come out unscathed most often.
