The first thing to do is to search for people who are trapped, injured or dead. The injured receive medical treatment. The National Weather Service conducts a survey to asses the strength of the tornado. Broken windows and holes in roofs are covered up. Power is cut to areas to avoid contact with live wires.
People start cleaning up debris, much if which is thrown out as it is too heavily damaged. Downed trees are cut up and put through a wood chipper. The damage to buildings is repaired. Buildings that are too heavily damaged my need to be torn down and replaced.

Can tornadoes effect people's jobs?
Yes. A tornado can destroy a person's place of work or cause severe enough damage that employees must be laid off.
What has to happen to a funnel cloud to be classified as a tornado?
To be classified as a tornado, a funnel cloud must make contact with the ground. Once the funnel cloud touches the ground, it becomes a tornado and is classified based on its size, intensity, and associated damage.
What must be done to measure the extend of damage in tsunami prone areas?

How is a storm categorized as a tornado?
A tornado is defined as a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. So in order to be categorized as a tornado, a storm must rotate, connect to both the cloud base and the ground, and have ground level winds strong enough to cause damage.
What is the minimum speed a tornado has to reach to be considered F5?
The scale does not rate tornadoes on wind speed but on damage. The wind speeds for the categories (F0, F1 etc) are estimates for each damage level. The wind estimates for F5 damage start at 261 mph. However, this estimates is believed to be too high. On the new scale, the wind estimates for EF5 start at 201 mph.
What is the part of the tornado that touches the ground called?
A tornado that doesn't touch the ground isn't a tornado; it is a funnel cloud. However if the funnel is pulling debris off the ground or making some other type of contact with the ground it is a tornado.
What makes a tornado a tornado?
The process of tornado formation starts when wind shear starts the updraft a a thunderstorm rotating, turning it into a supercell. If the right kind of down draft, called a rear-flank down draft occurs it can wrap around the rotating updraft, which is called a mesocyclone, and turn it into a more intense circulation: a tornado.
How does a tornado affect the activities of humans?
Tornadoes can cause a sginificant disruption. When a warning is issued people must take cover. Afterward, people must repair or rebuild. In some cases search and rescue parties must be formed.
Are cyclones faster than tornadoes?
It depends on the cyclone, and the tornado. In some cases cyclone winds and tornado winds fall into the same range. However, tornado winds are generally stronger. By definition, a tornado must produce winds strong enough to cause damage; the same is not true of a cyclone. The very strongest tornadoes produce winds in excess of 300 mph, the fastest winds on earth.
What should do after B.sc.?
if you done BSc then you people must do MSc
Can a tornado form at 10 miles an hour?
No, tornadoes typically form from thunderstorms with wind speeds of 40 miles per hour or higher. A 10-mile-an-hour wind speed is too weak to generate the necessary conditions for a tornado to develop.
How are tornadoes different from thunderstorms?
A thunderstorm is any rainstorm that produces thunder and lightning. They can sometimes cause damage but not always. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes must produce winds strong enough to produce damage in order to be considered tornadoes. Only about one thunderstorm in every thousand produces a tornado.
