From March 14 to March 15, 2008 a slow pressure system moved across the eastern United States. The system drew warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and forced cooler air into it from further north, generating a cold front. The cold front sparked thunderstorms. Wind shear, a difference in wind speed and direction with altitude, set some of these storms rotating, turning them into supercells, the kind of storm that produces the vast majority of sigificant tornadoes. On the Evening of March 14 an isolated supercell produced an EF2 tornado that tracked through downtown Atlanta. The system continued on to rpduce several dozen more tornadoes in the Southeastern U.S.

Where does a tornado happen?
Tornadoes can happen in any location where the necessary atmospheric conditions converge, such as in Tornado Alley in the central United States. They often occur in areas with warm, moist air colliding with cool, dry air, leading to the formation of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.
What happens before a tornado occurs?
Before a tornado occurs, the atmosphere needs to be unstable, with warm, moist air at the surface and cold, dry air aloft. Wind shear is also crucial, as it creates the rotation necessary for a tornado to form. Storm systems or supercell thunderstorms often provide the ideal conditions for tornado development.
