There are no legends, stories, or accounts of "big winds" (tornadoes) among the Cherokee (that I know of). As an educated guess on the subject.
Because of the small nature of most tribes, combined with the destruction that would be inflicted on exposed people and structures. It is very possible that any group exposed to a tornado were wiped out so left no one to 'tell the tale' as the case maybe. Those who may have survived were most likely seen as 'addled' (mental problems) by any tribes they encountered after the experience so any tales they told were discounted. Under those premises survival would not be much different than a modern person caught unaware and without adequate shelter for protection.

The Native American Indians survived tornadoes in Oklahoma in the same way any other people survive tornadoes: by recognizing the approach of a violent storm and either getting out of its path or by finding shelter. In previous centuries, without permanent buildings or shelters, native peoples did not experience destruction of property as they do today. The prairies and grasslands of "tornado alley" also have many gulleys, low creeks and the banks of rivers where anyone might be at least partially sheltered from tornadoes. Stories continue to be told about the mid 20th Century, when teachers would lead students out of schoolhouses to shelter in roadside ditches as the storm passed overhead.
