    Nope. A couple that I know were sucked up into a tornado and thrown out like rag dolls. They survived with multiple broken bones. They were in the hospital for weeks. They are much better now after a year of recovery and multiple surgeries each. That must be much more terrifying than surviving in a basement.

    Yeah that's likely due to the fact that this tornado was multi vortex, meaning there were basically multiple small and extremely powerful tornadoes on the ground right next to each other. These type of tornadoes are often the most deadly and unpredictable, especially for storm chasers. Like in El Reno 2013, when the multiple vortices were all over the place, trapping storm chasers along with the large size.

    They sent 4 kkk to brutalise, terrorise and made 9 attempts to kill me secretly after hearsts 18 wheeler flew over d Road to hit my car. They broke my face and chest again altho they failed to kill me secretly. They then changed their tactics to get me killed by d authorities as in d story of Patty Hearst. They used a black giant gestapo constable to strangle me until I cld not speak it breathe and then dumped me into jail. Later, judge Alex Green ignored d cctv footage and locked me up in prison on 3 false charges. Finally, they used a pickup with giant wheels to press d back of my moving car which fkew over 3 lanes but landed without hitting any other vehicle. The next day, they returned d verdict tt it was my fault tt hearsts 18 wheeler flew over d Road to hit my car and thus, I was not entitled to claim insurance. I had to be medically retired suffering from excruciating pains. I took unpaid leave from d prisons service in Singapore to study in houston. I worked as a prison officer and lay pastor to minister d Bible and deliverance to demonised prisoners twice a day after work out of my deep love for jesus. Unable to bear d excr pains, I prayed fervently and God then sent Dr Wayne Clark from S California to pray for me and a stream of the Fire of God flowed into me. God added d fire to d golden censer (me) and OVERTURNED it on d earth as in Rev 8. God then gave Mr a vision somewhat similar to Ez 9 and gifted me with the 6 weapons /angels /plagues : wind, water, fire, earth, pestilences and wars (judges 9, d first such retribution of the release of devils causing wars and Americans terrorising Americans was 911). I saw God wielding an Axe devastating man /usa and God told me to command disasters on the usa until compensation paid as his Hand will fight for me against the usa. God said tt He was d one who told Moses to get compensation from Egypt. God also asked me to read Deuteronomy showing tt usa is cursed in d City, cursed in d country for doing injustices to strangers and helpless and touching God's anointed King. Like David who was anointed King 3 times, I have been anointed thrice with the anointings of Called Chosen and Faithful to become a heavenly king, Army of Heaven to strike down d evil nations - monsters great red dragons committing monstrous moral distortions - Rev 17 and 19. Around 1980, at d St Andrews Cathedral, d Hand of God like a flame rested ON my right shoulder and 3 balls of fire came into me in d presence of Bishop Chiu who acknowledged that I was a chosen one. But while God was axing man /usa, man /usa kept murmuring and murmuring and d axing became more and more and harder and harder until SUDDENLY, man/usa split as wide as d sea /ocean. God was determined to destroy d usa for defying him. Commanding, fire of God produced EMW came forth to carry my commands, form a picture and activated the disasters on the dates i chose, d firsts were hurricane Hugo and St Francisco EQ but for Chinatown to stand. Ordinary fire/electricity can also be used to produce EMW to carry sound and picture but only reproduced in TV. God is a living, eternal consuming fire whose EMW (Hand, Dan 7:10), can craft good or evil - disasters, death and hell - isaiah 45. God is love and therefore just and being d faithful one, fulfilled d prophecy of psalms 18 to make me into David to turn d usa into dust. Usa fulfilled the prophecy of Obadiah to break d eternal covenant of brotherly love made with God thru d shed blood of jesus christ. D blood covenant requires the blood of Ephraim (usa and Western nations of d Cross) to be shed. Its d nature of blood covenant. Restore d covenant by heeding Micah 6 :8..

    With the way the NWS idiots have been rating obvious EF-5 tornadoes as only EF-4s in the last few years, it would surprise me if they ever rated one an EF-5 again. That antiquated system should’ve been abolished years ago, and yet they keep on using it, and ignoring other indicators of windspeed, including radar.
