Prior to the creation of weather radar tornadoes claimed an averaged of about 190 lives every year in the United States.
Weather radar is an valuable tool in detecting tornadoes for many reasons. Tornadoes usually begin when two conflicting air masses collide, which radars detect as high and low fronts. Additionally, these weather systems may be detecting by radar based on their vortices and wind movement.
It is impossible to know as records are incomplete and many tornadoes were missed before the implementation of Doppler radar in the early 1990s. Since 1950, there have been nearly 57,000 recorded tornadoes in the U.S. as well as an unknown tens of thousands more that wen unrecorded.
The main reason is that warnings are better now than they were some decades ago, due to increased knowledge of tornadoes, better radar, and the work of many storm spotters. This helps people get to safety.
Fairly effective. In many cases the signature of a tornado can be detected on radar before it even touches down. However, such radar cannot detect ground level winds and thus cannot tell if a tornado is on the ground or not. Visual confirmation is needed for that.
People have died from tornadoes in many cities.
Yes. The rotation of a tornado can be detected using doppler radar. Additionally, many tornadoes can be seen with the naked eye.
Tornadoes don't kill people every day. On average about 80 people are killed by tornadoes each year.
From 2000 to today in Italy 9 people died from tornadoes. From the 1800 about 650 people died due to tornadoes
Tornadoes killed 81 people in the U.S. in 2007.
On average tornadoes kill about 60 people each year.
Tornadoes kill 60-80 people in an average year.
Tornadoes killed 32 people in Tennessee in 2011.
