A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the cloud base of a thunderstorm to the ground, often accompanied by a visible condensation funnel.

What is characterized by winds heavy surf and flooding?

Winds, heavy surf, and flooding are characteristic of tropical storms and hurricanes. These severe weather systems form over warm ocean waters and can lead to significant coastal damage due to storm surge and high waves. Heavy rainfall associated with these storms can cause widespread flooding inland. Precautionary measures are essential to mitigate the impacts of such extreme weather events.
