Could a tornado hurt you?

Question

Lets say you were outside, there was nowhere to go, and a tornado was just overhead where you were. You had no time to lie down, and it passed over you. Tell me exactly what would happen?

Answer 1

A tornado is just high speed winds that intersect. The force of the wind would throw you dozens of feet into the air, depending on the size of the tornado. You would then be hurled to the ground at a force that if it didn't kill you, would certainly break bones.

This is ignoring that a lot of sand and debris is in a tornado since it picks up anything in it's path, which itself may act as a sandblaster, grinding away the skin from your flesh.

Answer 2

Imagine what it would be like to go 300 MPH in a car in a sand storm and then stick your head out of the window. It would sand the flesh right off of your bones.

Answer 3

The tornado would not hurt you. The Tornado could pick you up and throw you allowing what you hit to hurt you, or it could throw something and hit you with it allowing the object being thrown to hurt you.

Answer 4

Well in my opinion i think i would fly up in the tornado  and get out of its *** or toss you out and thats where you find out if you are dead or not

Answer 5

Haven't you heard of people dying from tornados? You do not want to be near one. If one went right over the top of you, you could be picked up, thrown hundreds of feet and be severely hurt. Also, all the debris swirling around in a tornado could hit you.

Answer 6

no
