Do tornadoes strike big cities?
Yes, tornadoes can strike big cities. While less common than in rural areas, tornadoes have been known to hit major cities like Oklahoma City and Dallas. Urban areas may experience less frequent tornadoes due to the presence of buildings and infrastructure, but they are not immune to tornado activity.
Can tornadoes combine to be one big tornado?
Tornadoes can merge together, yes, and vortex physics predict that the combined tornado will be larger than either of the merging tornadoes. However, most tornado mergers involve a large tornado absorbing a small one, so the larger tornado is not affected very much.
What are the 3 general categories of tornadoes?
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.
What is the tornadoes nick name?
Tornadoes are often referred to simply as "tornadoes" or "twisters."
Can four tornadoes join together and make a big one?
Most likely not, as the chances of having two tornadoes close enough to merge is unlikely. However, some tornadoes, especially large, violent ones, somtimes have a series of smaller vortices inside the main vortex of the tornado. Under the right conditions these vortices can become visible, resulting in a tornado with multiple funnels. Tornadoes with four or more funnels have been observed. In some instances, these vortices will be visible for a time and then suddenly become hidden within the main funnel or debris cloud, making it look like they have merged.
Why are tornadoes big?
If they were little they wouldn't be tornadoes
Are big tornadoes strong tornadoes?
Big tornadoes are usually strong, but not always. A large, poorly organized tornado is not likely to be very strong. Some tornadoes even weaken as they expand.
How big are most tornadoes?
Most tornadoes are 50 to 100 yards wide.
Can tornadoes become one big tornado?
Yes. Some twisters have touched down and joined together to create a big tornado.edit: when tornadoes form like that its called a multivotex tornado
Do mini tornadoes do more damage then big ones?
Generally, small tornadoes do less damage than large ones, but some small tornadoes have been very destructive.
Are tornadoes very small?
Tornadoes can vary in size, with most being between 100 to 600 meters wide. However, there have been larger ones that exceed 2 km in diameter and smaller ones known as rope tornadoes that are thin and narrow.
What are big tornadoes?
A large tornado can easily by over a quarter of a mile wide. Some tornadoes are over a mile in diameter. A handful of tornadoes have been over 2 miles wide.
How do tornadoes get different sizes?
i think it depends on the weather and how big the storm is!
Is a tornado big?

Are Tornadoes usually big or small?

How big was the tornado compared to the state?
tornadoes compared to big state could be very small as of 3ft but the can be big as of over 2 miles which big as half or big as an rural county area
Do mini tornadoes happen where big ones happen?
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.
