Thunderstorms need to start rotating. This rotation must then tighten and intensify to produce a tornado.

What happens before a tornado strikes?

What are the odds of being killed in a tornado?
the odds of being killed in a tornado are actually (approximately) one in two million. weird, huh?
Can more than one tornado hit one spot?
Yes. After an area has been hit by a tornado the odds of a tornado striking it in the future are the same as they were before. One notable case is the town of Harvest, Alabama. On April 3, 1974 it was struck by an F5 tornado, followed by another F5 less than an hour later. Harvest was then struck by an F4 tornado in 1995, an EF5 tornado in 2011, and an EF3 tornado in 2012. The 2012 tornado destroyed homes being rebuilt following the one in 2011.
What would happen to you if you were in a negative f5 tornado?
There is no such thing as a negative F5 tornado. In an F5 tornado, depending on what part of the tornado hits you and what point its at in its life cycle the building you are in would likely be severely damaged or destroyed. A house may be completely blown away. However, as statistics have shown the odds are in your favor of surviving, especially if you have taken adequate cover. That said, if the worst part of the tornado strikes where you are, not even being in the basement will guarantee your survival.
What happens when tornadoes combine?
When tornadoes merge they simply become one tornado large than either of the original two. It is an unusual occurrence and most of the time that it does happen it involves a large tornado absorbing a small one without being much affected.
What happens when a tornado goes over a hill?
The tornado keeps going without being affected.
What happens to the stuff in a tornado when the tornado stops?

Why do people go to the store while there is a tornado warning or watch?
Many people do not may attention to there being a tornado watch, as it does not inidicate an immediate threat of tornado, so many people go about their ordinary business. A tornado warning often means that a tornado is minutes away from htting. So it is no so much that people go to the store as much as, they just happen to be there when the warning is issued. If a person is outside or in a car and a tornado is coming, they will often go to the nearest permanent building, which in some cases is a store.
