Explanation / Answer

1) option d is true

almost above 95% of fatalities occured by violent and strong tornadoes, and moreover tornadoes are not the deadliest form of weather in the US, rather the list is topped by heat waves , hurricanes, flooding and its true that tornadoes causing fatalities have decreased since 1975 and was more before this year.

2) false,

It is a myth. That opening the doors and windows will equalise the pressure in the house with the tornado and we shall get some time to rescue, well it is just risking your life and nothing more.

3) false it cannot be measured in real time instead it used to measure the strength of the tornado which is based upon damage impact of the tornado, if there is no damage there is no calibration in the scale, its only measurable when there is some sort of damage by the wind so it cannot be real time.
