What instrument do you use to check if there is a tornado?
Doppler Radar can detect the signature of a tornado's rotation in a storm, but we usually need an eyewitness report to confirm that the tornado has actually touched down. Dual polarized Doppler radar can detect debris from a tornado, but that requires that the tornado is fairly strong and that there is enough debris for the tornado to pick up.

How many tornado warnings a there in a year?
Last year in 2011, there were over 1800 tornado reports (of which about 1700 were confirmed), but the number of tornado warnings was higher as not all warnings correspond to a formal report. So the number of warnings issued in 2011 was likely well over 2000. However, 2011 was an extremely active tornado season. An average tornado season sees about 1200 tornadoes in the U.S., which would likely work out to about 1800-2000 warnings.
What are most tornado warnings' information based on?
Most tornado warnings are usually based on data from Doppler radar, which can indicate a strong mesocyclone or even the signature of a tornado itself, and on reports from spotters, who may report if a tornado is forming or already on the ground.
