Can a tornado happen while it is raining?
Yes, tornadoes can occur during heavy rain. These types of tornadoes are known as "rain-wrapped," where the tornado is obscured by the rain and can be harder to see or detect. It is important to stay alert and take cover during severe weather conditions, even if it is raining.
What is the precipitation in a tornado?
Tornadoes typically do not produce their own precipitation. Instead, they form from existing thunderstorms that may already be producing rain or hail. When a tornado does occur in the presence of precipitation, it can be difficult to see due to heavy rain and may be obscured by a curtain of water.
Does it get calm before a tornado comes?
Sometimes. Tornadoes often form in a rain-free portion of their parent thunderstorms and the rain, wind, and hail often let up a few minutes before the tornado arrives. Some people have noted an eerie silence. In other cases a tornado may be shrouded in rain, and heavy rain continues even as the tornado strikes. Such rain-wrapped tornadoes are particularly dangerous because you can't see them coming.
Does it rain during a tornado?
Most storms that produce tornadoes also produce rain. However most tornadoes occur in a rain-free area of the storm. This is a good thing as it makes them easier to see. There are also rain-wrapped tornadoes where rain is falling in the part of the storm with the tornado. Rain wrapped tornadoes are especially dangerous because they are difficult, even impossible to see.Strong, even damaging winds during a thunderstorm, raining or not, do not necessarily mean that there is a tornado though. There are a number of other phenomena than can produce winds equivalent to those of a tornado.
What are the sky and wind conditions during a tornado?
Tornadoes occur during strong thunderstorms and so the sky is overcast with clouds that can become very dark. In somce cases it may be as dark as night. You may see the clouds rotating around the tornado. However, in somce sases this may be onscured by heavy rain. Near the tornado you will experience strong winds blowing toward the it. Farther away, beyond the tornado's direct influence, conditions can vary. It may be very calm, or there could be very strong thunderstorm winds.
Was there any precipitation during the Waco Texas tornado?

What are some signals that a tornado is possible?
Tornadoes occur during severe thunderstorms, which produce strong winds, heavy rain, and sometimes large hail. If you see rotation in the clouds, especially in an area where they are lower than in other places, then the storm is probably capable of producing a tornado.
Are tornadoes easy to see?
Sometimes. A tornado that has a well defined funnel or debris cloud that occurs during that day in the rain-free part of a thunderstorm can be seen from quite a distance. In some cases a tornado may have little or not funnel or debris cloud, rendering it nearly invisible. Other tornadoes may be obscured by heavy rain or hidden in the dark of night.
How far can you see a tornado?
It varies widely depending on where you are relative to the tornado, how much rain and haze is in the area, and what else may be blocking you view. In good visibility a tornado may be visible from over 10 miles away. In the worst cases a tornado obscured by rain may not be visible until it actually hits you.
Where rain and dewdrops fall and find their place You made this silver veil as light as breath to be an instrument of death What is it?
This riddle describes a spider's web. The web catches rain and dewdrops, and is so finely made that it can be difficult to see. It is also used by spiders to catch their prey.
What are some weather changes that come before a tornado?
In most case the first thing that will likely happen is the pressure will start to drop a few hours in advance as the storm system approaches, then thunderstorms will appear. In most cases theses storms will produce unusually heavy rain, sometimes to the point that it is difficult to see. As the back of the storm approaches the rain may start to lighten and hail may start falling. In some cases the rain stops before the tornado strikes, creating an eerie calm. This is a typical scenario for an approaching tornado, and not all of these signs need to be in place for a tornado to strike.
Why doesn't rain fall from all clouds?
All rain falls from clouds, but clouds that you see which don't have rain falling from them are just not raining because the cloud has not become saturated with water vapour. When it does become so, it will rain.
