yes there real!!! tornadoes are a fierce wind storms coming down from the sky they are twisty some people call them Twisters because they twist so much you don't wanna see a tornadoes, they can kill you that is if you get sucked into one, then you'll most likely die. they are scary there is a scale of tornadoes here's the list:
F0:roofs mildly damaged tree limbs broken, some trees uprooted
F1:roofs severely damaged
F2:roofs torn from frame homes, trailer destroyed, cars are lifted and tossed
F3:houses loose roofs and many walls collapse,most trees uprooted
F4: houses leveled and left a a pile of debris, trees stripped of bark
F5:Homes blown clean off foundations.

∙ 7y agoNo. The Fujita scale only rates tornadoes up to F5.
There are vortices on the sun that resemble tornadoes and have been referred to as tornadoes, yes. However, they are not true tornadoes and they operate by entirely different mechanisms.
Sort of but, they are called fire whirls but technically aren't tornadoes. They form in a way more like dust devils than real tornadoes.
Official statistics say 75-80% of tornadoes occur in the U.S. This is very misleading, however, as most countries do not keep detailed records of their tornadoes. The vast majority of tornadoes outside the U.S. are never documented. So, the real percentage is not known.
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.
Not real tornado. Scientists have produces small vortices in labs that resemble tornadoes, and have simulated tornadoes in supercomputers, but they cannot create real tornadoes.

Most likely it could. Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere in the world.
There is not real scientific evidence that animals predict tornadoes. Tornadoes come with thunderstorms, and some animals, such as dogs, may hear the thunder before we do, but it is unlikely that they can actually predict tornadoes.
Meteorologists (weather scientists) study tornadoes and how to predict them, but there are no real efforts to try to prevent them. That is impossible.
Many tornadoes have a structure similar to the eye of a hurricane, but the only true eyes are in tropical cyclones. In Tornadoes and other storms it is called a weak echo region.
There is no real research being done to that end. It is generally acknowledged by scientists that tornadoes cannot be stopped.

That is not known. There are about 1600 tornadoes recorded worldwide on average. However, the real number is almost certainly much higher as many countries do not keep records of their tornadoes.
Tornadoes do not have names, hurricanes do. No tornadoes in Washington appear to have been bad enough to have any real claim to fame.
That depends on what you mean by "mini tornado" as it has no real definition. If you mean small, weak tornadoes, then yes. Even in areas prone to large tornadoes, the smaller ones will still be in the majority. However, weak tornadoes are rarely heavily covered unless they strike in places not not normally associated with tornadoes.
