Don't say something stupid because it was early in the morning on a weekend. I slept right through it too. Any normal person who sleeps past 7 would have.

Trying to outrun a tornado in a car is STUPID and will only kill you and whomever is stupid enough to go with you.  Tornadoes are highly unpredictable and could easily blow you off the road if you're lucky enough to survive the flying debris.  Your best bet is to find shelter.

Tornadoes have been clocked at well over 200MPH.  Yeah, that automobile is really going to save you.  By the time you see it coming at you, you're dead.  You have NO time to get out of the way.

well if you're dead by the time you see it coming, how are you going to have time getting to shelter?  Also, nothing short of an underground bunker will shelter you from an F5, even F4s can pretty much take most things to the foundations.  You're better off putting as much angle and distance between you and the tornado as you can.  While some tornatdoes have been clocked at 200mph, most dont move that fast.  The average speed is something like 30mph; and most of them travel roughly in one general directoin with a shifting base.
