Yes. Hawaii will get tornadoes on rare occasions.
Yes. Since record keeping began in 1950 Alaska has had 4 tornadoes and Hawaii has had 39.
Tornadoes themselves do not cause any precipitation. The storms that produce tornadoes do. These storms produce heavy rain and often produce hail, some of which can be quite large.
No. Mercury has essentially no atmosphere. There are no storms of any kind there.
If a moderate risk of severe storms is issued for your area you should be on alert for any severe thunderstorm or tornado warnings. For these purposes you may tune into the TV or radio or check out the National Weather Service web site (link below). It is also a good idea to keep a battery operated weather radio handy as severe thunderstorms and tornadoes can cause power outages.
Tornadoes are considered the worst storms on Earth because of their intense wind speeds and destructive potential. They can cause severe damage to buildings, infrastructure, and landscape within minutes, resulting in loss of life and property. Their unpredictable nature and ability to form rapidly also contribute to their reputation as one of the most dangerous natural disasters.
The strongest tornadoes produce the fastest winds of any storm on earth, but tornadoes are small compared to most storms.
Nah - we just get little storms - the last one we nicknamed "Sandy"......
Tornadoes are not a direct product of fronts but rather of thunderstorms. The storms that produce tornadoes most commonly occur along a cold front or dry line, but can be associated with stationary fronts or, less often, warm fronts. Some tornadic storms develop in the absence of any fronts.
No not that any Storm Chaser or any of the NSSL's stations know about (National Severe Storm Laboratory)
It is difficult to find any pontential positive effects. However, like other storms, tornadoes are able to clear out old vegetation, allowing for new growth.
No. Tropical storms develop over warm ocean water and don't remain tropical storms more than a couple hundred miles inland. Even then, Minnesota gets its fair share of nasty storms, including tornadoes, even if it does not get tropical storms.
