Tornado In Orlando Florida-storm Chasers, Locals, And Anyone Else Affiliated With Weather?


I am flying to Orlando,Fl on January 6, 2013 and am staying until around the 17th of January, 2013. I was born in California and have only been to a few other states (none in South or Midwest). In California the most we ever got in the way of weather was rain and a rumble of thunder (one or twice in my life. I am now mid twenties). What I am asking is:
1) What are the chances there will be a tornado in Florida when I am there? I know that geographically the state of Florida is in the South and the South (along with the Midwest) is famous for tornadoes. Someone told me that in winter tornadoes will never happen because of the cold weather. They said the Spring is the most common time of the year, along with Summer. But when I heard about the Christmas tornado outbreak (did it end up hitting Florida also?) I became worried. Please understand that I have never seen a thunderstorm let alone a tornado. So I am nervous.
2) I know that Florida gets tornadoes around hurricane season (spawned by hurricane), but are those waterspouts or actual tornadoes? In California we get waterspouts (fair-weather not tornadic). Has Florida ever had an F-4 or F-5 tornado? Like Joplin for instance or the Tri-State tornado? If so, I will be at a hotel and will have no basement for cover!! Isn’t the death rate 100% during a F-3, F-4 and especially an F-5 without a basement? I know Florida boarders Georgia, so the Panhandle probobly gets tornadoes, but what about Orlando????? In January?????
3) If a tornado did come (I pray to God one will not!!!) what can you do to stay safe and not blow away? When a tornado passes over a building or house does it always suck the objects or people out? That is what I am most terrified of. Being sucked up in the huge funnel and spun 200 mph!!! Many people are afraid to visit California due to our earthquakes, but tornadoes seem scarier to me!!!
I hope I did not ramble on, but I hope I will be alright. This is my first real time in Florida (besides as a baby) and I hope no freak storm will occur like the one on Christmas. Thank you for all of your answers.
