What signs would you see if a tornado was going to occur?
Tornadoes occur during severe thunderstorms and so are often preceded by heavy rain, strong winds, and hail. Specific signs that a tornado may soon develop include rotation in the clouds, a persistent lowering of the cloud base in or near that rotation, and a clear slot opening up near the rotation. Some people report seeing greenish clouds before or during a tornado. While this phenomenon does sometimes occur, it is not necessarily associated with tornadoes.
Can you tell if there's a tornado?
Usually. If you see rotation in the clouds it means a tornado may form. If you see a cone, cyclinder, or "elephant trunk" shaped cloud extending from cloud base a tornado may already be on the ground.
How would it look outside if a tornado were approaching?
Tornadoes occur during severe thunderstorms are very usually precedes by very heavy rain which, depending on the storm, may or may not stop before the tornado hits. This rain may be accompanied by hail, which can reach very large sizes. Many people have noted green or other unusual colors in the sky before a tornado. While this usually indicates a severe thunderstorm, it does not mean a tornado is coming, nor does its absence mean there won't be one. The tornado itself usually occurs in the rear half of the thunderstorm, if that portion of the storm is rain-free you may note a lowering of the cloud base and rotation in the clouds; this is the wall cloud from which the tornado may form. Near this wall cloud a hole may open up in the clouds, showing the location of the rear-flank downdraft that plays a crucial role in tornado formation.
How could you predict a tornado was coming?
If you can see the tornado
Can a tornado come out of an everyday cloud?
No, tornadoes do not come directly out of clouds. Tornadoes form within thunderstorms when there are specific atmospheric conditions present, such as strong wind shear and instability. Everyday clouds do not have the potential to produce tornadoes.

Where in the US do tornadoes take place?
it can be anywhere. the conditions have to be just right. typically they form in supercells. usually they can be seen forming from wall clouds. this is usually the las sign you see before a tornado actually forms.
What can you do before and after a tornado?
Before listen to the weather report if you think the weather seems weird! then go to a basement. when the tornado is over well see the destruction.
Are there different clouds everyday?
The clouds are constantly changing on account of wind, air temperature, changes in amount of moisture, etc. You won't ever see the same clouds twice.But you can see the same kinds of clouds again and again. Clouds are classified by their characteristics, and each type has a name: cirrhus, cumulus, stratus, and so on.

What happens to the sky when a tornado hits?
Tornadoes occur during severe thunderstorms, typically supercells. So you will typically see thick, often very dark storm clouds. The clouds may take on unusual colors, such as green, yellow, or turquoise. The cloud base itself may appear ragged, and there will usually be a rotating lowering of the cloud base called a wall cloud. The tornado will descend from the wall cloud. See the links for examples of wall clouds.

What type of warning systems are in place with tornadoes?
The most advanced tornado warning system belongs to the U.S. Doppler radar scans the wind an rain inside thunderstorms, which allows meteorologists to see if there is rotation in a storm which can produce a tornado. Weather spotters, firefighters, and police can report sightings of rotation in the clouds, funnel clouds, and tornadoes that touch down. If a tornado is spotted or is likely to form soon, then a tornado warning is issued. The warning will be broadcast over TV, radio, the internet, and smartphone apps. In some towns loud sirens will sound if a tornado warning is issued.
Is a hurricane usually accompanied by a funnel-shaped downward extension of a cloud?
No, a tornado is accompanied by such a cloud. Hurricanes generally have ordinary-looking storm clouds if you can see them through the rain.
