Sudden and devastating catastrophe and the limits to which events in life can be predicted, planned for and controlled are what the tornado stands for in both the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. In the book, the tornado is devastating to Dorothy Gale's family. It leaves them homeless. But by the end of the book, Uncle Henry builds an entirely new farmhouse for Aunt Em his wife, and for Dorothy and her pet dog Toto.

By shooting looking up at a glass bottom into which ink is injected to form the letters is the way in which the wicked witch's skywriting was created in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, water mixed with white calla oil was poured to the depth of 1-1/2 inches in a 6 foot square tank whose walls were wood and whose bottom was glass. A 3/8 of an inch tall miniature witch was placed on a hypodermic needle to simulate the Wicked Witch of the West on her broom. The words were written with the mild and nigrosine dye that filled the needle.

Actually a Cyclone, and it propels the lead character , Dorothy, to Oz. It is interesting but owing to its extreme stormy violence ( Literally ripping clouds) a real-life cyclone would Not produce a rainbow which is dependent on more placid air-fronts. Some of the production types almost excised the virtual theme-song Over the Rainbow- on the grounds, well a Cyclone would be too violent to produce one, say, on meteorological grounds. Song-lovers weathered the storm, and the song stayed in. It was not an original design-concept, by the way.

Terriermon, from the movie, can only do Bunny Blast which is an attack that involves a green blast of energy from his mouth. And he can also use Terrier Tornado, which, I don't know what does. But I do know that if he's with Lopmon, they can use Twin Cyclone, which is basically both of them using their tornado attack, but combining them together to make a more bigger and powerful tornado.


Is a tornado warning more severe or a tornado watch?

They are both important but more severe would be a tornado warning. A watch means that conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes meaning you should be watching the weather, prepare a place to go, and watch the skies, local media, and on what ever you monitor the weather with online. I use the NWS but some people use local media and others use it all. Also, make sure that you have a NOAA weather radio to alert you if something happens
