What else can I help you with?
Do tornadoes mostly occur in trallier parks?
No. Tornadoes do not hit trailer parks more than any other place. However, a tornado that hits a trailer park is more likely to be a major news story because it is more likely to cause serious damage and fatalities. Most trailers are poorly built and can be destroyed by even a fairly weak tornado while it takes a pretty strong tornado to shred most houses. And weak tornadoes are more common than strong ones.
Do tornadoes last less than an hour?
Usually, yes. The vast majority of tornadoes last less than an hour, with a typical tornado lasting no more than 10 minutes. Occasionally, a tornado will last for more than an hour, sometimes much more. At least one tornado is believed to have lasted for more than 3 hours. Such long-lived tornadoes are usually rather strong.
Can a tornado suffocate you when you are in it?
No, a tornado's strong winds and debris pose a greater risk to those caught in it rather than suffocation. The rapid changes in air pressure and destructive winds can cause significant harm, but suffocation is not a common cause of injury in tornadoes. It's important to seek shelter in a safe place if a tornado is approaching.
When an eye of a tornado comes back more severe than the general tornado what is that called?
When the eye of a tornado becomes more intense and destructive than the larger tornado, it is known as a "tornado within a tornado" or a "satellite tornado." This phenomenon occurs when a smaller, more powerful vortex forms within the main tornado circulation.
Is England in tornado alley?
No. Tornado Alley is in the central United States. It is a fairly common misconception that tornadoes can only occur in Tornado Alley. In reality they can occur almost anywhere; Tornado Alley just gets more and stronger tornadoes than other places do.
Why is a tornado stronger than an earthquake?
It isn't. An earthquake releases far more energy than a tornado.
Where are tornadoes less common in the US?
Tornadoes, especially strong ones, are are not very common west of the Rockies. In fact, no tornado stronger than F3 has been recorded west of the Rockies since at least 1950.
Is a waterspout tornado greater than a regular tornado?
No. Waterspouts are generally weaker than normal tornadoes, usually equivalent to no more than a low EF0 tornado.
What part of a home would be hit during a tornado?
Any part of a home can be impacted by a tornado, depending on how strong it is. A weak tornado will probably not damage more than the exterior. The basement is the least likely part to be affected, but an EF5 tornado could easily remove a house from its foundation and expose the basement to the winds.
Do tornadoes cause more damage than water spouts?
it depends on how strong or how big the tornado or water spout is. they both can be very damaging in many ways.
What was the worst tornado?
The worst tornado was the Daulatpur-Salturia tornado in Bangladesh, it killed more than 1300 people but its intensity is unknown.
Can a German style build brick house survive a tornado?
It depends on how strong tornado is. The house would not stand a chance against an EF4 or EF5 tornado, and would likely be partially destroyed by a high EF3. Anything EF2 or lower would be unlikely to do more than remove the roof.
