Not even in the same universe.. Fairly easy to survive an EF1.. I remember an entire manhole sucked right out of the middle of the street in Xenia back in 74.. I have never been able to remotely imagine that kind of force of wind and pressure drops to do something like that. The only saving grace for people sucked up into something like that is it's so fast you probably don't have consciousness much more than a few seconds if that. Basically just splits your brain right open kind of pressure. You might see or hear it coming, but once there it's likely all over just that quick if you're outside in the path of it all.. The really strange part is there have been stories of people thrown miles and still survive it. I have no idea how much of those stories are fact and how much is fiction, but i couldn't wrap my mind around something like that..
