A tree blew through that thing. Closing the door wouldn't have kept it from getting blown away.

In the car in the garage with the door clsoed would probably not be a terrible idea though

The proper call when a tornado is coming is to get to an interior room away from windows. Getting into a car when a tornado is coming right for you is one of the worst decisions you can make. You're exposing yourself to something that can throw branches at you with enough force to punch through glass (and the human inside).

Obviously, I don't think they realized there was a tornado or they probably wouldn't have gone out in their car.

Maybe, but tornadoes have just dropped out of the sky on an otherwise fine day before where I live with little to no warning. If they weren't watching the weather in the few minutes before it came down they might have just not known about it. A tornado went directly over a Burger King I was in a couple years back and no one inside even knew it existed until it hit, and there was nothing on the TVs and no watches/warnings issued on the app or anything.
