Mostly it is because it is hard for a storm to gather the energy needed for a strong tornado.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
It isn't. An earthquake releases far more energy than a tornado.
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.
No. Waterspouts are generally weaker than normal tornadoes, usually equivalent to no more than a low EF0 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.
it depends on how strong or how big the tornado or water spout is. they both can be very damaging in many ways.
The worst tornado was the Daulatpur-Salturia tornado in Bangladesh, it killed more than 1300 people but its intensity is unknown.
Yes trees can live for more that a century however it depends on what tree type due to the fact they can be sucked out of the ground by a tornado or strong gale winds
