Tornadoes do not produce rain, but the thunderstorms that spawn them do. This rain can indeed cause flooding.
they don't cause the floods directly, but usually there is alot of rain during a tornado so floods can be more common during a tornado
No, rain does not help a tornado form. Tornadoes are formed by severe thunderstorms with specific atmospheric conditions, such as wind shear and instability. Rain can occur before, during, or after a tornado, but it is not a contributing factor to the formation of a tornado.
Yes it is. Tornadoes form during thunderstorms, and a downdraft caused by rain is one of the things needed to produce the tornado.
No. Many tornadoes form in a rain-free portion of their parent thunderstorms. Some tornadoes form with low-precipitation supercells, which produce little or no rain.
Yes, it can cause damage, crop destruction, floods, and droughts (other places).
Yes. There is moisture in a tornado. The air a tornado pulls in has been moistened by rain. This moisture condenses to form the visible funnel cloud.
No, it is not uncommon for "rain-wrapped" tornadoes to form.
No. Precipitation is water that falls from the sky in some form, such as rain, snow, or hail. A tornado is basically a violent wind storm. While tornadoes are usually accompanied by rain and often by hail, this precipitation is not directly related to the tornado itself.
Yes. If a tornado is rain wrapped rain can be drawn into the circulation.
Tornadoes form during strong thunderstorms, so they are usually accompanied by heavy rain, but they do not produce rain themselves. Many tornadoes form in a rain-free portion of their parent thunderstorm while others are embedded in rain.
No. Rain does not cause a tornado. However, both rain and tornadoes are caused by thunderstorms.
Tornadoes themselves often form in a rain free area of a storm. Some tornadoes are embedded in very heavy rain. Such tornadoes are said to be rain-wrapped.
