1) watch the news. Ik it may be boring for some, but it tells you whether or not you have a warning or watch or whatever. 2) look for weather patterns like, severe thunderstorms, strong winds, hail. hope it helped ;)
If you can see the tornado
Meteorologists can detect the signature of a tornado or the rotation that may lead to one using Doppler Radar, which can measure wind speeds at a distance. They also receive reports from weather spotters who report tornadoes and other severe weather as they occur.
Scientists can detect the signature of a possible tornado using Doppler radar. However, they rely on reports from spotters, police, and the general public to know if a tornado is actually on the ground.
It is impossible to make long term predictions for when and where a tornado will occur. At best, we will know about this next tornado a few minutes before it forms.
You can get a general idea of a tornado's direction by watching it move. Note that if a tornado does not appear to be moving to either side but instead looks to be getting bigger, there's a good chance its coming straight at you. Outside of visual observations, the movement of a tornado can be tracked by Doppler radar.
There is know way of knowing that. The development of an individual tornado might be predicted, at most, a few minutes ahead of time
That sort of thing is impossible to know.
If you can see the tornado
yes!
There is no way of knowing when the next tornado will be in any given place.
There is no way of knowing that.
"Prayer time"
I used to live in Tornado Alley... a tornado watch means that the weather conditions mean it is very likely that a tornado will form in an area. A tornado warning means a tornado has touched down nearby.
No, I won't. I would get myself evacuated from the tornado area.
it is unpredictable to tell what a tornado's path will be it could be coming right towards you then out of no where turn
If a tornado has formed in the U.S. chances are it will be detected by Doppler radar.
It is useful to know the wind speed of a tornado because it provides an understanding of tornado intensity and dynamics. It is important to know the forwards peed of a tornado because that is needed to know when a tornado might reach a location in its path.
