Tornadoes can cause significant casualties, resulting in injuries and fatalities. The impact varies widely depending on the tornado's intensity, duration, and location, with stronger tornadoes causing more severe damage and higher death tolls. On average, tornadoes in the United States cause dozens of fatalities each year, along with thousands of injuries, particularly in populated areas. Effective warning systems and preparedness can help mitigate these casualties.
The Daultipur and Salturia tornadoes occurred in Bangladesh on April 26, 1989. The tornadoes lasted for approximately 30 minutes, causing extensive damage and numerous casualties in the affected areas. They are remembered as some of the deadliest tornadoes in the region's history.
Lightning typically kills more people than tornadoes each year. Lightning strikes can be unpredictable and widespread, causing fatalities due to direct strikes or related injuries. Tornadoes are less common but can cause significant damage and casualties when they occur.
Bangladesh experiences a significant number of tornadoes each year, with estimates suggesting that the country has seen over 100 tornado events historically. The frequency and intensity can vary, but tornadoes in Bangladesh are often associated with severe thunderstorms, particularly during the pre-monsoon season. Notably, one of the deadliest tornadoes in history struck the town of Daulatpur in 1989, resulting in thousands of casualties. Overall, while the exact total of tornadoes is difficult to pinpoint, they remain a notable aspect of the country's weather patterns.
It varies from year tor year, but the average is about 60. This year is one of the worst on record with at least 551 tornado fatalities worldwide, 536 in the United States.
No. Trailer parks are no more likely to be hit by tornadoes than anywhere else. Trailer homes tend to be weakly built and poorly anchored, so they are more easily destroyed by hing winds and tornadoes. As a result, tornadoes that hit trailer parks are more likely to cause major damage and produce casualties. Therefore they are more likely to attract media attention.
The synonym for casualties is deaths.
Tornadoes in the U.S. are called tornadoes.

Tornadoes are sometimes divided into "weak" tornadoes "strong" and "violent" tornadoes. Weak tornadoes are those rated EF0 and EF1. Most tornadoes are weak. Strong tornadoes are those rated EF2 and EF3. Violent tornadoes are those rated EF4 and EF5. They are the rarest of tornadoes, only about 1% of tornadoes are this strong.
There were approximately 13,000 Union casualties at the Battle of Shiloh.
It depends on what you mean by extreme. Tornadoes of EF4 and EF5 tornadoes, however are often referred to as violent tornadoes. These account for about 1% of all tornadoes.
