The answer could be many different ways. If you mean the inside, few survive to talk about it if they do end up flying through the air in a vortex. The few that do seldom remember the experience. Now if you're talking about the outside in the same neighborhood, it's pretty scary. In May 2003, Moore, Oklahoma I experienced a tornado. I heard loud noises and I was pretty scared. The wind ripped my room off, and I was really scared. Great force came down on me, and I thought I was going to die. The pressure inside my ears was unthinkable. I thought I was deaf. It was like one of those crazy moments when it's all loud, and all of a sudden it just went silent. So to sum it all up, a tornado feels scary, and it has great wind pressure. See the link below for audio that gives an idea of what such an experience is like.

If caught without shelter in an intense tornado, one would feel the terrific force of the winds and be unable to stand or even hold onto anything. Injuries or death would be caused by falling or being crushed against objects, or by impacts from other objects being hurled at great speeds. Tornado-force winds can drive blades of straw into telephone poles and wooden boards into concrete walls, so the human body would have little chance of survival.
