No. Rain does not cause a tornado. However, both rain and tornadoes are caused by thunderstorms.
Yes. If a tornado is rain wrapped rain can be drawn into the circulation.
Yes. There is moisture in a tornado. The air a tornado pulls in has been moistened by rain. This moisture condenses to form the visible funnel cloud.
It varies widely depending on where you are relative to the tornado, how much rain and haze is in the area, and what else may be blocking you view. In good visibility a tornado may be visible from over 10 miles away. In the worst cases a tornado obscured by rain may not be visible until it actually hits you.
There are three possibilities. First is the tornadic thunderstorm may not have reached you yet, as tornado warnings are sometimes elongated along the storm's projected path. Second, you may be under a low precipitation supercell, which is a potentially tornadic storm that produces little or no rain. Third, you may be under the updraft part of the thunderstorm, which is often rain free and sometimes relatively calm. This is also the part of the storm where a tornado is most likely to form.
Tornadoes are usually preceded by heavy rain and sometimes large hail as well a thunder and lightning. The rain often stops before the tornado hits, but not always (in which case it is called a "rain wrapped" tornado).
Tornadoes are accompanied by rain, but they do not produce it themselves. Rather, the rain is a product of the thunderstorm that spawned the tornado. Hurricanes produce very heavy rain.
Tornadoes do not produce rain, but the thunderstorms that spawn them do. This rain can indeed cause flooding.
they don't cause the floods directly, but usually there is alot of rain during a tornado so floods can be more common during a tornado
Yes. If a tornado is rain wrapped rain can be drawn into the circulation.
the rain could block a game a tornado could kill someone a hurricane can destroy a whole state or cause a tornado
No. The unequal heating will produce breezes, and perhaps clouds and rain, but much more is required to produce a tornado.
It is possible, though the tornado itself would not be the cause. Tornadoes are often accompanied by very heavy rain which can cause flooding. A flood can alter the course of a river.
A tornado that is surrounded by rain is said to be rain-wrapped. Rain-wrapped tornadoes can be especially dangerous because they are difficult to see.
The tornado itself did not produce rain. But Springfield did get some rain from the system that produce the tornado.
Usually a tornado come after rain, as most tornadoes are located in the rear portion of a supercell.
A tornado itself does not produce rain, but it can accompany a tornado. The storms the produce tornadoes, called supercells typically produce very heavy rain, often enough to prompt flash flood warnings. This rain may stop before the tornado comes, or the tornado may be rain wrapped. Some storms however, called LP (low-precipitation) supercells produce little to no rain at all, but can still produce tornadoes.
Sometimes but not always.
