Currently the biggest problem with tornadoes is their unpredictability. We are able to save lives with the warnings we have, but our abilities are limited. Most tornado warnings issued are false alarms, which leads people to become complacent. When a new warning is issued many expect another false alarm and do not take shelter in time. Such complacency may have contributed to the catastrophe of the 2011 Joplin tornado, which killed 158 people. The key to eliminating these false alarms is understanding why some storms produce tornadoes while other, similar storms do not.
