A tornado cannot "hit" a hurricane as they operate on entirely different scales. A hurricane is its own large-scale storm system while a tornado is a small-scale vortex that occurs within a storm system. In fact, it is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes.

What would happen to you if you were in a negative f5 tornado?

There is no such thing as a negative F5 tornado. In an F5 tornado, depending on what part of the tornado hits you and what point its at in its life cycle the building you are in would likely be severely damaged or destroyed. A house may be completely blown away. However, as statistics have shown the odds are in your favor of surviving, especially if you have taken adequate cover. That said, if the worst part of the tornado strikes where you are, not even being in the basement will guarantee your survival.
