The largest tornado ever recorded was 2.5 miles wide. However, most are no more than a few hundred yards wide.
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.
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.
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.
Tornadoes are often referred to simply as "tornadoes" or "twisters."
The plural of tornado is tornadoes.
If they were little they wouldn't be 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.
Most tornadoes are 50 to 100 yards wide.
Generally, small tornadoes do less damage than large ones, but some small tornadoes have been very destructive.
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
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.
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.
i think it depends on the weather and how big the storm is!
yes and theyre sometimes called wedge tornadoes
Tornadoes are usually small, especially compared with other weather events. They are usually a few hundred feet wide.
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
Yes. The energy of a tornado takes the form of extremely fast wind. The strongest of tornadoes produce the fastest winds on earth.
