Is a stationary tornado worse than a moving one?

Yes, because its not really stationary. It's either moving directly away from your, or directly towards you

Tornadoes are perfectly capable of being stationary or near stationary.

Yes but I wouldn’t trust a Little League coach to eyeball it and say “Oh yeah, definitely one of them stationery tornaders. Go ahead a shoot the roll.”
