It may depend on the deck, but generally, no. Some decks could be moved even by a weak tornado, potentially crushing anyone underneath. The higher the deck is off the ground, the less protection it offers. It is best to be underground or, if that is not an option, in an interior windowless room, closet, or hallway

Is it safe to hide under a bridge in a tornado?

No. It can be one of the worst places; although there is video footage of a man with his daughter surviving as they took cover under a bridge. They survived mainly because the tornado missed the bridge. The bridge itself creates a wind tunnel effect that cause the wind to accelerate as it passes through. Additionally, bridges offer no protection from debris, which is the main killer in a tornado.
