Thankfully the terrain around where I live protects me for the most part from tornados,
Don't ever think terrain will protect you. It won't. Not one little bit.
We used to think that in Chattanooga, because we are surrounded by mountains. USED TO THINK THAT.
Ask the people of Rainsville and Sylvania Alabama. April 27, 2011, The Day of the Storms. That tornado came across the mountain top on Sand Moutain and killed about 30 people in one county. It then went down the mountain side, you could see the path, and wiped out Trenton, Georgia.
I was looking out my back door in Chattanooga when the the first of three rounds of tornadoes came through. Trees and telephone poles started hitting the ground and I was running for cover.
That was the same day Tuscaloosa was wiped out by a tornado.

I said for the most part it protects, there certainly are exceptions though. Part of my old job was mapping natural disasters and so prior to moving here I looked at some historical data for the area when it came to tornados.
