How would you describe the path a tornado takes?
A tornado's path is narrow and usually relatively straight.
What if a tornado was in a wide open space with nothing around?
This happens fairly often. Such a tornado would be recorded if someone observed it, but there would be no damage. Such a tornado would be rated EF0.
Would low pressure tornado cause buildings to explode as the tornado passes overhead?
No. This was once believed but has since been disproven. The pressure drop inside a tornado is insufficient to cause significant damage. Damage is caused instead by the wind in the tornado and debris carried by it. Even in a tornado of moderate intensity, this damage would put enough holes in a building to equalize pressure rather quickly.
Will a tornado damage a tank?
The tornado would not directly damage a tank. However, debris that the tornado is throwing around might. Storms have been known to impale metal signs into concrete. Any object with enough force behind it could damage the tank.
What is the rating of a tornado traveling through a cornfield?
A tornado that stays in a field would be rated EF0 as currently there is no Standford for rating tornado damage to crops.
Would a tornado do more damage than a hurricane?
No. A hurricane will produce more damage overall because it affects a larger area, though on a localized scale the damage from a tornado is often more severe.
What are the positive effects of two proposed plans to stop damage from tornadoes?
Fewer people would loose their homes and businesses and fewer people would be injured and killed by tornadoes. However, while better construction standards might reduce the damage caused by tornadoes, nothing can actually stop tornado damage.
How is the damage caused by a tornado measured?
Engineers examine the damage, taking into account the type of structure and the quality of construction, and estimate what wind speeds would be needed to cause that damage. That wind speed is then used to assign a rating on the Enhanced Fujita scale. The highest-rated damage on the tornado's path will be the tornado's rating.
Are you covered for tornado damage even thou your policy does not have hurricane insurance for your home.?
Your policy will not specifically say it covers "hurricane" or "tornado" damage. If if covers wind, then your loss would be covered.
What damage would a tornado do to a 20 story apartment?
Depends entirely on how strong it is. Weak tornadoes could barely do any damage, maybe to the roof...EF-5 tornado could flatten it.
What happens in a f6 tornado?
There is no such thing as an F6 tornado. The highest rating a tornado can be assigned is F5. Even if a tornado were to occur with winds in the supposed F6 range, damage would be no different from that of an F5 as all virtually structures would be obliterated anyway.
What would happen if an atomic bomb exploded in a tornado?
The explosion would probably disrupt the tornado. However, the effects of the blast and fallout would likely be worse than anything the tornado could do. Even then, the parent thunderstorm may still go on to produce another tornado.
