What might you see feel and hear if you were wathching a tornado take place?

If you were watching a tornado out would most likely see a rotating cloud cloud, wider at the top than the bottom extending toward the ground from a thunderstorm. The clouds around this will be rotating as well. as the ground you may see a swirl of dust and debris. You would likely hear the wind blowing, perhaps rain falling, and the occasional crash of thunder. You may even hear the roar of the tornado itself, which has been described as sounding light a freight train or jet engine. If you were outside you would likely feel the wind blowing and the rain falling. If the tornado were dangerously close, you might feel you ears pop from the low pressure.

Why does wind generate electricity?

Wind itself does not generate electricity, but using wind turbines it is converted into mechanical energy and the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. "Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. Take a look inside a wind turbine to see the various parts. View the wind turbine animation to see how a wind turbine works."
