"The storm was created by competing magnetic forces, which pull the charged magnetic particles on the sun back and forth, creating a spinning mass of plasma that tracks along strands of magnetic field lines, NASA explained."

Amazing! The tornado itself is around the size of the Earth with gusts of 300,000 MPH. I don't think standing in a doorway is going to do you much good in this case.
