What else can I help you with?
Is there more research happening to be able to prevent tornadoes?
There is no real research being done to that end. It is generally acknowledged by scientists that tornadoes cannot be stopped.
How can tornadoes be prevented from being destructive?
We cannot stop tornadoes from occurring or from striking communities. It may be possible to reduce the damage done, however, by building structures to standards that allow them to withstand powerful winds. Even then, few structures can survive the strongest tornadoes.
Is there research happening to be able to prevent tornadoes?
A few civilians have proposed means of stopping tornadoes, but no credible research is being done by actual weather scientists (meteorologists). It is generally accepted among scientists that there is no feasible way to stop a tornado.
What can be done to help prevent a tornado?
Tornadoes cannot be prevented.
What percentage of tornadoes are F5 and F4?
A little more than 1% of tornadoes are rated F4 and F5 with F5 tornadoes being less than 0.1%
What are results of tornadoes?
Tornadoes typically result in damage to vegetation and property, and often people and animals being killed or injured.
Is there anything that can be done to prevent the tornado?
I'm sorry but no tornadoes are natural and you can't stop them.
Can Tornadoes including the EF5 Tornadoes go over the water?
Yes. Tornadoes, regardless of strength, can go over water without being significantly affected. There have been at least 2 cases of F5 tornadoes crossing the Mississippi river.
How often do tornadoes form in Virginia?

How many tornadoes has California had?
Since official record began in 1950, California has had 404 recorded tornadoes up through the year 2013. The actual number of tornadoes is likely much higher, as many of the less intense tornadoes went without being recorded.
Are there any tornadoes in Indiana?
Yes, Indiana does experience tornadoes. The state typically sees around 20 tornadoes per year, with the peak season occurring in late spring and early summer. Tornadoes can occur throughout the state, with no specific region being immune to them.
How are most tornadoes classified as in the US?
Tornadoes in the U.S. are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale (or the original Fujita scale fore tornadoes Prior to February 2007), which runs from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest. Ratings are based on wind speed estimates derived from the severity of the damage done. About 60% of tornadoes are rated EF0.
