Tornadoes are tracked using Doppler radar and eyewitness reports from weather spotters and law enforcement in order to issue warnings. After a tornado goes through an area, meteorologists and engineers survey the damage to confirm the touchdown, assign a rating, and determine if an event involved one or multiple tornadoes. This data is later recorded in the databases of both the Storm Prediction Center and the National Climatic Data Center.
