There are a few major issues. First, it is very difficult to get wind measurments from within a tornado, especially at ground level. Damage is used as a proxy for wind speed. As a result, tornadoes that don't hit much are difficult to rate. Third, we are not exactly sure how well our wind estimates correspond with damage.

When is the start of tornado season and the end of the season?
Unlike hurricane season there are not official limits to tornado season. However, generally tornado season lasts from lat march though June. However significant tornado outbreaks can occur at almost any time of year.

Why does Ontario not get Tornadoes?
Actually there are tornadoes in Ontario. Some as strong as F4. In 2009 an F2 tornado hit the Toronto area. On May 31, 1985 13 tornadoes touched down in Ontario, including anf F4 that Devastated Barrie, north of Toronto, killing 8 people. Tornadoes are not particularly common in Ontario because its relatively cool climate limits the intensity of thunderstorms, and upper-level wind patterns generally favor types of storm less likely to produce tornadoes.

Why can't scientists get exact measurements of wind speeds inside tornadoes?
They can, it's just difficult. The only way to get an exact measurement of the wind speed you actually have to get a probe inside of the tornado. Such a task requires driving out in front of a tornado, dropping the probe, and getting out before the tornado hits. In many cases the probe is not in exactly the right place, and tornado misses, if there is an opportunity to place the probe at all. It is possible to get an approximate measurement of a tornado's wind speed by positioning a mobile Doppler radar near it. Such units are limited, however, as they can only measure the component of the wind velocity that is directly toward or away from the radar and cannot measure winds at ground level. Doppler radars are also expensive, so relatively few of them exist. On top of these limits, the radar still has to be in the right place at the right time, which is also hard to do. As a result, the vast majority of tornadoes go without their wind speeds being measured.

Is your ability unlimited to make changes in your lives?
Of course not. There are always limits. The difficulty is that many things we believe are limits are self-imposed.
