A wind greater than 90 mph can lift a person off the ground. If a person gets tossed out of the wind field they simply fall back to the ground. Some, whole do not have far to fall, have escaped without serious injury.
Most injuries/fatalities from tornadoes are caused by flying debris striking people. The other way is unfortunately when the tornado catches people in the open and can literally pick them off the ground and they are severely injured/killed again by debris or being tossed back to the ground.
The items picked up by a tornado get tossed around and may be carried for long distances before being dropped back to the ground. The debris can cause significant damage to buildings and structures in its path.
If you mean the debris being carried by a tornado, if it hasn't already been thrown out of the tornado it simply gets dropped to the ground once the tornado is no longer strong enough to carry it.
sorry but if you have tossed/sold it you can't get it back.
After a tornado weakens and dissipates, the debris it picked up can fall back to the ground or be carried away by the wind. Items may be dropped back relatively close to where they were originally picked up or scattered over a wider area depending on the strength of the tornado.
No. We did not have a warning system back when the tornado hit in 1927. People in nearby towns were not even aware the tornado had occurred until some time after.
A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes can cause extensive damage and can take you to a safer location if proper shelter is sought during a tornado warning. It is important to take tornado warnings seriously and seek shelter in a designated safe place.
After a tornado picks up dirt, the dirt particles are carried along with the tornado's swirling winds. As the tornado moves, it can deposit the dirt particles when its winds weaken or when it dissolves. The dirt can then settle back to the ground once the tornado dissipates.
Nowhere in particular. You get carried some distance, usually down wind, and get dropped back down to the ground.
No. Back in 1925, when this tornado ocurred, there were no tornado waatches or warnings. In fact, meterologists were forbidden to mention tornadoes in their forecasts for fear of starting a panic. As a result, the Tri-State tornado struck without warning. Because of the wide funnel and low cloud base, many people who saw it approaching did not even realize it was a tornado.
If a tornado occurs over a body of water where fish are present, the fish may get caught up in the strong winds and be lifted out of the water. Once the tornado dissipates and the fish fall back to the ground, they may suffer injuries or die upon impact.
