Best Answer

You can get a general idea of a tornado's direction by watching it move. Note that if a tornado does not appear to be moving to either side but instead looks to be getting bigger, there's a good chance its coming straight at you.

Outside of visual observations, the movement of a tornado can be tracked by Doppler radar.

Because books don't tell you the weather that is coming your way. If you have a tornado watch going on in where you live, how would you know? Would reading a regular paper book tell you a tornado's coming for you?


When will the next tornado warning be?

Such a thing is impossible to predict. A tornado warning itself is a prediction that the threat of a tornado is imminent.
