What else can I help you with?
Do all tornadoes have to have rain?
No. Many tornadoes form in a rain-free portion of their parent thunderstorms. Some tornadoes form with low-precipitation supercells, which produce little or no rain.
Do tornadoes always follow the rotation of the earth?
No. While most tornadoes rotate in a direction that matches earth's (clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern), a small percentage go against this. The origin of the spin in tornadoes is not directly related to earth's rotation. Most tornadoes also move in an easterly direction, but not always.
How many mesocyclones produce tornadoes?
Not all mesocyclones produce tornadoes; however, they are often associated with tornado formation. The presence of a mesocyclone is a key indicator for meteorologists to monitor for tornado development.
Are there tornadoes in the UK?
Yes, tornadoes do occur in the UK, but they are relatively rare compared to other parts of the world, like the United States. The UK experiences about 30-50 tornadoes per year, mostly weak and short-lived.

What can you do about tornadoes?
Take cover...and fast. Not sure about your question. Tornadoes will be tornadoes. As I said before take cover. I've always been taught to get into a closet. Or get into a bathtub with a mattress on top of you.
Do wider tornadoes cause more damage?
Usually, but not always. A large tornado can certainly damage a large area. Larger tornadoes also tend to be stronger as well, but this is not always the case.
Are all tornadoes spiral?
Tornadoes generally don't have a spiral shape. But the winds in and near a tornado always move in a spiral pattern.
Do tornadoes always form in the spring and summer?
No. Tornadoes happen at all times of the year. Spring and summer are just when they are most common.
What states have a warm to mild climate not prone to tornadoes?
Arizona and Utah have warm climates and don't see tornadoes very often. The tornadoes that do affect those states are almost always weak.
