It varies. Based on data from the past 62 years the average F5 tornado kills 22 people. However, the F5 tornadoes in this time period had death tolls ranging from 0 to 158. The deadliest F5 tornado in U.S. history killed 695 people.
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.
Most tornadoes in Canada do not kill at all. Those that do usually do not kill more than 2 or 3. The deadliest tornado in Canadian history killed 28 people.
Unless a killer tornado has happened fairly recently, the best data can be found at the Storm Prediction Center's Annual Fatal Tornado Summaries. For recent tornadoes, online news articles are usually fairly reliable, but sometimes fail to separate death tolls if there are several killer tornadoes in a day or fail to distinguish between tornadic and non-tornadic deaths. Wikipedia often does a fairly good job of doing that. As of June 28, 2014 the latest killer tornado is not listed by the Storm Prediction Center yet. That tornado hit Pilger, Nebraska on June 16, killing 2 people.

The scientific name for tornadoes is "tornado." Tornado is the widely accepted term used by meteorologists and scientists to describe a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground.
A tornado's path is typically erratic, twisting and turning as it moves forward. It can change direction suddenly, causing it to shift and curve as it travels across the ground. Tornado paths may vary in length, width, and intensity depending on the storm system and environmental factors influencing its movement.
