Don't befool yourself. You cannot outrun a tornado. What an idiotic statement.
I spotted storms for a summer.
Short answer is you can, in certain situations. We were taught (in Nebraska) to go 90 degrees away from the funnel if you didn’t have a place to shelter. Or drive like a bat out of Hades if you had to.
Something like this though you don’t have much to run to. There are not many basements in that part of the world.
