Can you predict if a tornado is about to happen?

Not exactly. If a tornado is imminent then Doppler radar will probably detect the rotation wand a warning will be issued that a tornado may soon form. Often, especially with areas of major damage, the tornado has already been on the ground for at least a few minutes and moves into the area. Meteorologists can often detect the signature of a tornado on radar will announce where the tornado is and where it is going.
