You would most likely be killed by flying debris and assuming you actually made it into the vortex you could be lifted anywhere from tens to hundreds of feet in the air before being ejected sideways out of the funnel.

Where was the last large tornado in the US?

What date did the hattiesburg tornado hit?

It hit Tupelo at 8:30 PM on 5 April 1936 and while many died, Elvis survived.


What is the biggest recorded tornado in the US?

That can have several answers. The strongest (though not necessarily the largest) tornadoes are EF5 tornadoes with estimated winds over 200 mph. The strongest tornado recorded (or at least to have its wind speed measure) had winds of 318 (some say 302) mph. The widest tornado ever recorded struck Hallam, Nebraska tornado in 2004. It was 2.5 miles wide.


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.


What category is a 250mph tornado?

There is no "category" for winds in a tornado. Tornadoes are measured by the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which simply is a rating based on the amount of damage done. It ranges from weakest EF-0, to strongest EF-5....250mph winds are "capable" of producing EF-5 damage, should it move over certain sturdy structures. However, a tornado over an open field with 250mph will not get an EF-5 rating because it has no sturdy structures for it to damage. Tornadoes are rated after the fact based on the amount of damage done. So while a 250mph wind "could" produce EF-5 damage, it's got to move over the right structures for that damage to be realized and the tornado given that rating.

What would happen if you got sucked into a jet engine?

Being sucked into a jet engine would likely result in serious injury or death due to the extremely high speeds and forces involved. The individual would suffer from severe trauma, burns, and potentially dismemberment from the rotating components within the engine. It is not survivable in most cases.
