There is no definite length of duration or size associated with any particular category of tornado.
However, stronger tornadoes tend to be larger and last longer, though not always.
Most F0 an F1 tornadoes last less than 10 minutes.
Since official records becan in 1950, there have been 35 rocorded tornadoes on Long Island. However, the actual number of tornadoes is likely considerably higher, as many of the smaller tornadoes were missed prior to the 1990s.
Yes, there have been tornadoes in Long Island.
Normally in the Spring and early summer. But tornadoes can happen all year long.
Generally stronger tornadoes last longer, though this is not always they case.
Weak tornadoes typically last less than 5 minutes.
That is impossible to predict. Tornadoes cannot be predicted in the long term. Lead times in forecasting tornadoes are measured in minutes, not months.
The distance that tornadoes travel varies greatly. Most tornadoes travel a mile or two, but long track tornadoes can travel for well over 100 miles. The longest tornado path on record was 219 miles.
a lot of things are destroyed
Tornadoes last for 3-5 minutes. They dont really happen much anywys.... ! O.e
How long a tornado lasts can vary widely. The average tornado lasts about 10 minutes. But tornadoes have been known to last as little as 10 seconds and as long as 3.5 hours. Not many tornadoes last more than 30 minutes. As to when they occur, tornadoes can form at any time of day or night, but are most common in the later afternoon and early evening. Similarly, tornadoes can occur at any time of year, but happen primarily in the spring.
Tornadoes can be associated with supercell thunderstorms, which are long-lived and rotating thunderstorms capable of producing severe weather. However, not all tornadoes are produced by supercells, as they can also form in other types of thunderstorms.
How often tornadoes occur in different regions is a function of climate. Tornadoes are weather events and climate is the long-term behavior of the weather. In simple terms, tornadoes occur in areas whose climates support the formation of strong thunderstorms and wind shear.
