funnel clouds.
Other signs that a tornado may soon occur include a lowering of the cloud base and rotation in the clouds during a thunderstorm.
If a possible tornado is seen by spotters or detected by radar a tornado warning is issued. The public is then informed of the warning via special TV and radio announcements, as well as through the internet. Some towns sound sirens that warn of a coming tornado.
I used to live in Tornado Alley... a tornado watch means that the weather conditions mean it is very likely that a tornado will form in an area. A tornado warning means a tornado has touched down nearby.
get to high ground, warn as many people as possible
Storm chasers have helped to identify features within a storm that are signs of a possible or imminent tornado including the "hook echo" signature sometimes seen on a radar image, and the rear-flank downdraft which often occurs just a few minutes before a tornado forms. Storm chasers can also relay information about a tornado to warning centers and broadcasters who can then warn people in the tornado's path.
First, warn family, friends, or anyone that is over. Then, GET IN A PLACE AWAY FROM WINDOWS... most likely underground. We just had a tornado-make that over 27-here in kentucky.
I saw it at target. But I have to warn you that it doesn't really function. Look up "Should you buy zubber" to see why.
Tornadoes cannot be prevented. Current technology can warn us of an approaching tornado, but can't do anything to stop it.
The most valuable tool is doppler radar, which can detect the rotation in a thunderstorm that can produce a tornado, and even the rotation of the tornado itself. The introduction of dual polarization in these radars can be used to detect debris lifted into the air.
their was a man that was driving out side of edmonton. he saw the funnel cloud start to form and heard weather warnings on the radio so he phoned in to warn them that their was a tornado on its way to edmonton.
to warn of a possible danger ahead.
Tornado sirens are typically turned off after the threat of a tornado has passed or when it is no longer necessary to warn people of immediate danger. This helps prevent confusion and panic among residents in the area.
No, tornado sirens are used to warn of approaching tornadoes or severe weather, while nuclear explosion sirens are used to warn of an imminent threat of a nuclear explosion or attack. Both sirens serve different purposes and are designed to alert people to take appropriate actions based on the specific threat.
