What actually happens if you are in a shelter and a tornado passes over you? I understand tornadoes but have absolutely no experience of them..........the thought totally terrifies me if I am honest. Hurricanes are bad but basically just stormy weather. Tornadoes on the other hand reach ridiculous speeds.
A force 5 strips road surfaces so surely it would have no problem reducing a shelter to shreds?
Best wishes to anyone caught up in this. Very glad we do not get serious ones in the UK.edit on 29-2-2012 by Flavian because: (no reason given)

Those were some big tornado shots, that one with the dad and the kids screaming at him, he could of at least tried to drive away, rather than telling them, you can't out run it, there's no where to go, and poor kids are balling out terrified. Aww, least ease their minds a little bit,

Brilliant, thank you for the information. I would like to say it has put my mind at rest a bit should i ever be caught up in a tornado. If im honest though, i think the first time at least i would still run round in small circles, flapping my hands and gibbering!
It is kind of unbelievable how someone could survive a force 5 in a bathtub! Crazy stuff.

No, below the the house. That's all I got.
Well at any rate let us hope there would be no more casualties.
