Yes. One of the most interesting examples of this is the F5 tornado that hit Elie, Manitoba, Canada on June 22, 2007. The tornado was relatively small but for a short time became extremely intense. The tornado hit a very will built brick house, tearing it from its foundation and throwing it several hundred feet as it disintegrated. To other houses nearby were leveled. However, another house right next to the one that was thrown only lost a small part of its roof.

Some large, violent tornadoes have multiple smaller vortices inside the main funnel which pack much stronger winds. In some cases tornadoes like this will produce a continuous path of moderate damage with crescent shaped swaths of extreme damage within it.

Are waterspouts usually more dangerous than true tornadoes?

Waterspouts are often thought to be less "deadly" than tornadoes because there is not really any property for them to pick up/destroy: They generally are not carrying gigantic amounts of debris to cause destruction, and hardly any human lives are at risk. However, they ARE tornadoes - just on water- They have "deadly" winds (think about how heavy all that water is). While fair-weather waterspouts rarely produce winds over 70 mph, tornadic waterspouts can be just as strong as any tornado.

Why Is the desert the least fertile soil?

Deserts are characterized by low precipitation and extreme temperatures, which lead to limited organic material accumulation and a lack of soil-building processes. The soil in deserts is typically dry, sandy, and nutrient-poor, making it less conducive to supporting plant growth and agriculture. Additionally, the high evaporation rates in deserts prevent the accumulation of organic matter necessary for fertility.


Where air temp. hardly change..which layer?

In the stratosphere, temperatures generally do not fluctuate much with altitude. This is due to the presence of the ozone layer, which absorbs and redirects incoming solar radiation, leading to a relatively stable temperature profile.

How many people died on Wednesday April 11 2012 in Texas due to tornadoes?

There were no deaths or injuries from the tornadoes of April 11, 2012. Both of the tornadoes in Texas on that date were rated EF0 and such tornadoes hardly ever kill.


Can tornadoes cause extreme damage to one area and hardly touch another are just a few hundred feet away?

Yes. Some tornadoes aren't very big, though the more destructive ones tend to be large, and the area of the worst winds is often only a small portion of the overall damage path. In some cases it may not even be even a few hundred feet. A tornado may level ones structure and leave the one next to it with only minor damage. This is because some tornadoes contain smaller vortices with winds up to 100 mph faster than the rest of the tornado, which can mean the difference between EF1 (moderate) damage and EF5 (incredible) damage. This may also result from a narrow but very intense tornado. One of the most jarring examples of this occurred in the F5 tornado that struck the town of Elie, Manitoba. A well built, firmly anchored brick house was ripped from its foundation and thrown several hundred feet, disintegrating in midair. The house next to it only lost part of its roof.


How many deaths is there on average on F0 tornadoes?

Just abut zero. F0 tornadoes hardly ever kill. The nearly 24,000 F0 tornadoes recorded in the years 1950-2010 resulted in a total of only 20 deaths.

Are tornadoes associated with earthquakes?

No. Tornadoes can cause mild ground vibrations, enough to register on a seismograph, but not enough to be felt, but one would hardly call that an earthquake. Tornadoes are caused by severe thunderstorms. Earthquakes are caused by movement in Earth's crust. Such forces are completely unrelated.
