Why are hurricanes deadlier than tornadoes?
Hurricanes tend to be deadlier than tornadoes for two main reasons. First, hurricanes are huge compared with tornadoes. This means they affect larger areas and so have more opportunity to kill. Also, while tornadoes are chiefly wind events hurricanes produce both intense wind and major flooding. 90% of all hurricane deaths are drownings.
How many tornadoes were in the us?

Why do tornadoes have a spiral shape?
Tornadoes take on a spiral shape because the winds in them spin and move upward. This is because tornadoes originate from the rotating updraft of a supercell thunderstorm. The updraft gets this rotation from wind shear.
What are the key words for tornadoes?
vortex- a spiral or whirl
Why do tornadoes spiral upward?

Do tornadoes have a spiral-shaped wind path?
The air in and near a tornado generally follows a spiral path as it moves inward and upward around the tornado's center of rotation. In some tornadoes, however, it is more complicated than this as there may be smaller subvortices embedded in the main vortex. The tornado itself usually moves in a fairly straight line.
How many galaxies are spiral?
Approximately 60% of all galaxies are spiral
What do tornadoes look like from space?
Tornadoes themselves cannot be seen from space because they are blocked from above by the thunderstorms that produce them. The link below shows a storm satellite of a storm system that was producing tornadoes at the time the picture was taken. The tornadoes themselves formed under the storms that are seen as the right-hand branch of the spiral-shaped system. Again, what you are seeing is the storm that produced the tornadoes, not the tornadoes themselves. At this resolution individual tornadoes would be too small to see anyway.
