How can you know how far a tornado is?

It is difficult to tell for certain. You may be able to eyball the distance if you can see it clearly, but that is not reliable enough to stake your personal safety on. Tornado warning will often call out the location of a tornado relative to one or two communities, which gives an idea of how far away a tornado might be. However, a warning can be several minutes old by the time you read it, which is enough time for a tornado to move a few miles.
