it is possible to outrun a tornado in your car

Depends on the Tornado - I outran one in a sailboat once. Admitedly, I could probably have sailed right through it with minimal damage, but this was in the Largs Channel, Scotland - a part of the world where the only tornadoes normally seen are the F.3 or GR.1 varieties debonair was talking about.

Ok, how about we plant you in the path of a "harmless F1" and watch you get smacked with a 2x4.

You sir should really STOP giving advice about the Fujita Scale, because any fool KNOWS ANY tornado has the ability to kill any animal, including the "perfectly harmless F1".

The Fujita Scale is based on DAMAGE, nothing else. From 1950-1994, 4% of Deaths were at the hands of "harmless F0-F1" tornaders. Here's what a "harmless F1 can do". I all but memorized this scale as a kid.

F1
Moderate tornado
73-112 mph

The lower limit is the beginning of hurricane wind speed; peels surface off roofs; mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned; moving autos pushed off the roads; attached garages may be destroyed.

My God how do you wake up in the morning and decide to spew so much drivel?!!

That's the thing about tornadoes I never could work out. How do they always know where the trailer parks are...?

I don't know, but in Raider's world, an overturned mobile home CANNOT kill you.
