Tornadoes do kill people, but it is rare for the death toll to make a substantial dent in the population unless a tornado kills a large number of people in a small community. A more significant effect is for some people to leave an area after a tornado hits. For example, most of the town of Greensburg, Kansas, was destroyed by a tornado in 2007. Only 12 of its 1,600 residents died, but since the tornado, more than 800 have moved away.

What was the population of Tuscaloosa before the tornado hit on April 2011?
The population of Tuscaloosa was about 91,000 prior to the tornado and was pretty much the same after the tornado. The Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado of April 27, 2011 killed 64 people, 44 of them in Tuscaloosa. This is not enough to make a real dent in the city's population.
What human activities can increase or worsen the impact of a tornado?
Humans can not effect a tornado. Only nature can make a tornado occur. The cold and hot air curl together and form the tornado.
How can a tornado affect the ecosystem?
The main impact of a tornado on ecosystems is the destruction of trees and other vegetation. Animals caught in a tornado may be killed or injured as well.
What influence does a tornado have on climate?
Tornadoes do not have any notable impact on climate.
What is the most serious impact to an ecosystem after a tornado?
The most serious impact is usually the destruction of trees and animal habitats.
Is a tornado a density dependent factor?
No, a tornado is not a density dependent factor. Density dependent factors are biotic factors that influence population size based on population density, while tornadoes are weather phenomena that are not influenced by population density.
Is there going to be a tornado in 2012 in Chicago?
It is impossible to make long term predictions of whether or when a specific location will have a tornado. When we do determine that a town or city is going to be hit, the time to the tornado's impact is measured in minutes.
How is population effected by tornado?
Tornadoes do not kill enough people to make a notable dent in the local population. The deadliest tornado to hit the U.S. in recent years killed 158 people in a city of 50,000, much less than 1% of the population. In the aftermath of a tornado, however, some people may choose to leave rather than rebuild. For example, about half the population of Greensburg, Kansas has left since much of the town was destroyed by a tornado in 2007.
How is a tornado going to affect a large population?
The main way in which a tornado might affect a large population is loss of property and loss of electricity. A relatively weak tornado can bring down power lines and cut off power to a large area depending on where it hits. When a violent tornado goes through a large population area hundreds, even thousands of homes may be destroyed or severely damaged. A tornado is not likely to kill a significant portion of a large population. The deadliest tornado of recent years killed 158 after going through Joplin, Missouri, a city with a population of about 50,000. A more notable percentage, over 1,100 or about 2% of the city's population was injured. Since about a third of the city was directly impacted by the tornado, that means about 6-7% in the path were injured. Note, however that this was an extreme case as this was only the second tornado since 1979 to injure more than 1,000.
What are the changes in species on a tornado?
Not much. While some animals are likely to die, a tornado is unlikely to make a dent in the population of any species.
What impact do snow storms?
snow storms can have a very bad impact they can cause blizards which can knock down houses just like a tornado
Does a tornado have an impact on environment or humans?
A tornado has an impact on both the environment and humans. Though the impact on humans is more noticeable. Environmental impacts include the destruction of vegetation and animal habitats as well as the deaths of some animals. Similarly tornadoes can damage or destroy human property and kill or injure humans.
