The National Weather Service was aware of the tornado well in advance and issued a tornado warning in Greensburg 39 minutes before it was hit and a tornado emergency 12 minutes before. The people of Greensburg responded accordingly by seeking shelter in their basements and interior rooms, giving them as much shelter as they could get.
a tornado warning is something that tells u a tornado has been spotted in your area or is strongly indicated by radar. so tornado warning means tornado near you. you should take cover when this is issued.

12. It is very hard to find the most updated news. So the most updated one I could find said 12 people. However not all of those people were in Greensberg however they were all killed by the same tornado.
The best thing that people can do is to pay attention to weather advisories so they can no when a tornado is coming. When a tornado threatens, people should get to some underground shelter or get to the interior part of a sturdy house or building.
No. A tornado is a localized event, usually not affecting more than a town or two. A tornado may lead to people leaving a town, or sometimes a tornado-prone region, but not usually a country. For example, many people left the small town of Greensburg, Kansas after most of it was destroyed by a tornado in 2007, but they all stayed in the United States.
Oftentimes people will leave a community that has been hit hard by a tornado. For example, in 2007 a tornado destroyed 95% of the town of Greensburg, Kansas, a town 1600 people at the time. Although the town was mostly rebuilt about half of the population has moved away since then.
People can protect themselves by moving to higher grounds
Tornadoes do kill people, but it is rare for the death toll to make a substantial dent in the population unless a tornado kills a large number of people in a small community. A more significant effect is for some people to leave an area after a tornado hits. For example, most of the town of Greensburg, Kansas, was destroyed by a tornado in 2007. Only 12 of its 1,600 residents died, but since the tornado, more than 800 have moved away.

Yes. Generally speaking a tornado, even an F5, spares more people than it kills. For example, on May 4, 2007 an EF5 tornado (essentially the same as an F5) destroyed 95% of Greensburg, Kansas, a town of about 1,600 people. Due to excellent warnings the death toll was limited to 11.
Tornadoes do not kill enough people to make a notable dent in the local population. The deadliest tornado to hit the U.S. in recent years killed 158 people in a city of 50,000, much less than 1% of the population. In the aftermath of a tornado, however, some people may choose to leave rather than rebuild. For example, about half the population of Greensburg, Kansas has left since much of the town was destroyed by a tornado in 2007.
some people protect themselves by paunching the anther people that is tiring to heart him
