They are telling people to get underground which means this tornado is huge -- they only tell people to get underground when it is a F-4 high scale or F-5 I didn't know that.....

During the 1999 tornado, they were saying that if you weren't underground, you won't survive. That was an F5.

Not necessarily true. All tornado warnings are intended to get people to shelter. Underground is always best, but not always possible.

I didn't know that until 1999 when Gary England on Channel 9 started yelling for people to get underground and said in all of his years of broadcasting he had never told people that before. Only had been in Oklahoma a little over a year when that one hit.
