The idea is that studying tornadoes, which sometimes means getting close to them, allows us to better understand them. A better understanding of tornadoes may help us predict them, which would mean better warnings for people who might be in the path of a tornado.

How do scientists predict and study tornadoes?
In the long term tornadoes are predicted by looking at factors such as temperature and wind speed and direction at different levels of the atmosphere and by monitoring any storm systems that might come through the area. In the short term tornadoes are predicted by scanning thunderstorms with doppler radar and looking for signs of strong rotation.Scientists study tornadoes primarily with doppler radar as well, which can pick up information on the winds inside the funnel it you can get close enough. A few have deployed probes inside of tornadoes to take measurements.
What are tornadoes like up close?
Near a tornado winds a very strong and the roar can be deafening. Many people have reported feeling their ears pop as the pressure dropped. Up close it is sometimes possible to clearly make out the debris that the tornado picks up. The funnel may appear translucent, especially around the edges. The videos linked below contains some up close footage of tornadoes.
Why is the earth's moon so close to the earth?
The moon is so close to the earth because the gravity of earth pulls it in which also causes the tides. Some Scientists say that earth is pushing out and leaving the earth a couple centimeters every year.
How can scientists calculate the age of the universe using red shift?
The basic idea is to extrapolate the movement of galaxies into the past: at a certain moment, they were very close together.
Why tornadoes rotates circle?
Tornadoes rotate in a circe due to electricity. The particles in the air have a nuetral charge and when two places in the electromagnetic field come close with opposite charges, they both charge and repel the air particles. The nuetral particles drifts towards the positively charged EM field which charges it positively. Once it is charged, the negative EM field attracts it and begins to charge it negatively. Once it is charged negatively the positive EM field attracts it again. This cycle will produce a circular motion which it what causes tornadoes to spin.
How close has someone been to a tornado?
People have been inside of tornadoes.
Should you get out of a car and into a ditch in a tornado?
If the tornado is relatively close and no other shelter is available then yes. Tornadoes are fast moving and unpredictable, you should not attempt to outrun one.
Where to buy a dog?
AT a shelter that is close to you.
Does Illinois have a lot of tornadoes?

How Many Tornadoes hit Texas in 2001?
There were 137 confirmed tornadoes in Texas in 2001, which is close to the average.
Do tornadoes kill more people than guns?
No, not even close. Tornadoes in the United States kill an average of about 60 people per year. The highest death toll in a single year from tornadoes in the U.S. was 747 with an overall decrease in deaths since the 1940s.By contrast, over 30,000 people in the U.S. die from gunshot wounds annually.

Can tornadoes affect areas that don't have tornadoes?
No. Tornadoes cannot affect areas that don't have tornadoes. However, tornadoes can occur in more places than many people realize. It is not uncommon for people to think that tornadoes don't occur in their areas when, in fact, they do. This is a result of a few factors. First, although tornadoes can occur in most places on earth, they are quite rare in many areas. Second, many tornadoes are relatively weak and cause only minor to moderate damage and so are less reported than the EF4s and EF5s that level whole neighborhoods. Third, may people to not pay close enough attention to events and are quick to forget many events.

Do you close doors to closet shelter during tornado watch?
No. You do not need to take shelter during a tornado watch. You take shelter if a tornado warning is issued. If you are in a closet shelter you should close the door; it may not provide adequate protection otherwise.
