There is no set number. You could get as much as a half hour warning or no warning at all. On average there is usually a 10-15 minute warning.
The weather reporter announced that we would have a tornado sometime in the afternoon. We learned about tornadoes today. Tornadoes are deadly. There was a tornado warning on the news today. Did you hear about the tornado in Kentucky yesterday? Hope this helps! Peace out~Tj8rocks
a tornado warning would be issued if it is in your county and a tornado watch if it is out of your county.
In that event a tornado waring would be issued for your area. Weather experts would tell you to get underground or to some other safe location. If you were to read the warning, it would say about where the tornado is, when it was spotted, the direction it's moving and how fast. Sometimes the warning may list places in the potential path. See the link below for an example of a tornado warning with a tornado that has been spotted. The tornado did go on to hit Roseboro, a town mentioned to be in the path.
The best choice would be to wake everyone up and tell them what the situation is. A tornado warning should always be taken seriously.
Under these circumstances a tornado warning would be issued.
A tornado watch is issued when general weather conditions in a region are favorable for the formation of tornadoes. Tornado watches are numbered in the order that they are issued. So tornado watch 4 is the 4th tornado watch issued in the country that year.
A tornado watch is issued when general conditions across a region are favorable for the formation of tornadoes. Such an advisory does not indicate an imminent tornado threat for any given location; that would warrant a tornado warning.
A tornado watch is just to tell you that the conditions are right for a tornado to form, but that doesn't necessarily mean that a tornado will form. Basically, It's just to give you a heads-up. If you're on the road, i would try to get to shelter. But, if a tornado warning has been issued, it means that a tornado has been reported or spotted on radar. Then, i would definitely move to your basement or get in a sturdy structure, or at least pull over to the side of the road if there are no buildings in sight.
They are both important but more severe would be a tornado warning. A watch means that conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes meaning you should be watching the weather, prepare a place to go, and watch the skies, local media, and on what ever you monitor the weather with online. I use the NWS but some people use local media and others use it all. Also, make sure that you have a NOAA weather radio to alert you if something happens
That would be a tornado. Once the process starts, a tornado can form in a matter of seconds. Hurricanes, by contrast, usually take several days to form and are easy to track.
Only to a very limited degree. Scientists can determine when conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop (in which case a tornado watch is issued), or even if a tornado may be developing (which would prompt a tornado warning), but cannot predict exactly where or when a tornado will touch down.
The meteor would pass through the tornado, without being affected in the least.
