Are there such things like double tornadoes?
There are multivortex tornadoes that at times can look like they are made up of two or more tornadoes
What damage can tornadoes cause?
There are two basic ways in which tornadoes cause damage. First, the wind in a tornado carries an enormous amount of force, which can damage tor destroy structures and vegetation. Second, debris carried by a tornado can cause significant damage on impact.
Can tornadoes be made up of two or more smaller tornadoes?
Sort of. Some tornadoes have smaller vorticies inside them that cause swaths of more severe damage within the main damage path. However, a tornado such as this is still considered one tornado.

How many tornadoes can be the same?
Only one. Like many things, no two tornadoes are exactly alike.
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.
Are tornadoes and earthquakes different?
Yes. Tornadoes and earthquakes are two completely different things. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. It causes damage with its powerful winds and debris carried by those winds. An earthquake is a shaking of the earth's crust. They cause damage by shaping, warping, liquefying, and fracturing the ground beneath buildings.
What are f4 and f5 tornadoes?
F4 and F5 are the two highest levels on the Fujita scale, which rates tornadoes on a scale of F0 to F5 based on the severity of the damage they cause. These two levels fall into the broad category of "violent" tornadoes. Typical F4 tornado damage includes well-built houses leveled and trees debarked. Typical F5 damage consists of well-built houses wiped clean off their foundations, and heavy damage to reinforced concrete structures.
What are two true facts about tornadoes?
Tornadoes are rated fromEF0 to EF5 based on the severity of damage that they cause.In rare cases, winds in a tornado may exceed 300 mph.
Are tornadoes in Pennsylvania damaging?
Yes. Most tornadoes will cause some damage, even if it is minor. As with all places, most tornadoes in Pennsylvania are rated EF0 or EF1, with damage such as downed trees, damage roofs, and destroyed garages and barns. EF3 and stronger tornadoes are rare, but they have occurred. The worst tornadic event in Pennsylvania occurred on May 31, 1985 when more than two dozen tornadoes struck the state, including six rated F4, and an F5 that struck the towns of Wheatland and Hermitage.
What is two things that has been nown as to be picked up in a tornado?
Tornadoes have lifted many things. Strong tornadoes have been known to lift up large vehicles, trees, and even buildings.
How are tornadoes and lightning alike?
Both tornadoes and lightning are potentially deadly phenomena that occur during thunderstorms. Aside from that they are two completely different things.
