It can be as strong to knock out an entire town by ripping up homes and leaving a lot of people homeless.
The very strongest of tornadoes have winds in the range of 200-300+ mph and are capable of wiping houses from their foundations, but tornadoes this strong are very rare. Most tornadoes have winds in the range o 65-110 mph but rarely make big news.

What is the effect of a warm air mass and a cooler air mass converging at earth's surface?
tornado
When a cold air mass and a warm air mass meet and neither can move the other the result is a?
a tornado
When a cold air mass reaches a warm air mass the result is usually?
Either a tornado or thunderstorm,as warm and cold air masses fight as the warm air mass escalates over the cold air mass.
When a more dense air mass meets a less dense air mass what weather condition ocurs?
Usually a thunderstorm, but depending on the temperature a tornado can also form.
What are 2 words for a rapidly spinning air mass that is dangerous that both start with a T?
These are: Tropical Tornado: or a Cyclone.
What is a whirling circular mass of air and water in the center of a tornado?
The tornado itself is a whirling circular mass of air. Condensation of water droplets at the tornado's core forms the funnel.
Is the warm air mass forming a tornado a tropical air mass?
Yes. The warm air mass that often plays a role in tornado formation is called a maritime tropical air mass.
Is a tornado an example of an air mass?
No. An air mass is enormous, spanning hundreds if not thousands of miles across. A tornado is a small-scale but violent storm.
What rotating air mass is in a thunderstorm cloud?
A tornado
What happens when a mass for warm air runs into a mass of cooler air?
A tornado occurs

What masses and fronts were in the mass tornado hit June 1st 2011?
There are no fronts "in" a tornado, though tornadoes are often associated with them. The tornado outbreak that affected Massacusetts on June 1, 2011 was associated with a cold front, which occurs when a cooler air mass pushes into a warmer one.
Are icebergs stronger than a tornado?
There is no basis for comparison between the two. An iceberg's "strength" is its mass and hardness. A tornado's strength is its wind speed.
Can a tornado form without a thunderstorm?
No, a tornado cannot form without a thunderstorm. A tornado needs the crossing winds of two air masses to provide rotation in order for a tornado to form. Tornadoes do not form from convection thunderstorms, but only from air mass thunderstorms.
What are the impacts of a tornado?
Tornados cause mass damage. Causing homelessness, injury, and death.
