There are a number of reasons. Trying to see a tornado yourself is usually not a good idea, as they form during dangerous thunderstorms and may be obscured by rain or nearby buildings and trees. Many tornadoes occur at night as well, when they are difficult to see and most people are asleep. Additionally, in places that don't have tornado sirens people many people who are not tuned into a TV or radio at the time may have no way of knowing about a tornado warning. Additionally, sometimes a tornado can develop faster than a warning can be issued. Additionally, some tornadoes escape detection altogether, especially if they are far away from the nearest radar. This happens more often with short-lived and weak tornadoes, but strong ones have slipped past as well. During a major tornado outbreak, in which multiple tornadoes can occur at the same time, broadcasters usually focus on the most serious threats while weaker but nonetheless dangerous tornadoes get little attention. Finally, some people simply do not pay attention to warnings of potentially dangerous weather.
Since official records began in 1950 tornadoes have killed 162 people in Florida. The deadliest tornado to strike Florida was an F3 that killed 25 people in and near Kissimmee on February 22, 1998.
Tornadoes in 1953 killed at least 526 people. Tornadoes in the United states killed 519 people, and one in Canada killed 7. Data for other countries is not readily available.
No, people cannot prevent tornadoes. Tornadoes are natural weather phenomena that form under specific atmospheric conditions and are beyond human control. However, people can take precautions to stay safe during tornadoes by having a plan in place and seeking shelter in designated areas.
Tornado do happen near and on the coast. It just so happens that the areas that get strong tornadoes (the tornadoes that get all the attention) happen to be inland. The strong thunderstorms that produce most tornadoes form most easily when warm, moist air collides with cool and/or dry air along with a few other conditions. These meet most ideally in inland areas but tornado outbreak along coasts have also ocurred.
Assuming you mean people killed by tornadoes in Tornado Alley, the years 1981-2010 show an average of 14 deaths per year from tornadoes. Nationwide tornadoes killed and average of 56 people per year in the same period.
It is possible, tornadoes have touched down near Kimberly before.
Well it's an opinion to me i think tornadoes are cool in movies in all but in real life you don't want to be near one as they can cause catastrophic damage as well as kill and injure people. This aspect of tornadoes is generally not considered cool.Well it's an opinion to me i think tornadoes are cool in movies in all but in real life you don't want to be near one as they can cause catastrophic damage as well as kill and injure people.

Tornadoes are not a common occurrence near the equator, however, waterspouts, which occasionally come on land an become tornadoes may still occur. Near the equator such tornadoes probably spin clockwise and counterclockwise in equal numbers.
No, hail doesn't fall in tornadoes, but it often falls near them.
People near a tornado but not directly hit by it may suffer from the local economic effects of a tornado as businesses close and money is spend on repairs. They may suffer psychologically as people they know may be hurt or killed or lose their homes.
People have died from tornadoes in many cities.
They can't. People cannot prevent tornadoes.
Smaller tornadoes near a larger tornadoes are often called satellite tornadoes. Smaller vortices within a tornado are called subvorticies or suction vorticies.
No. Tornadoes occur naturally.
Hard to explain. Only God and Jesus know when exactly the world is going to be destroyed. They told us in the bible to beware of signs like flooding, tornadoes, big earthquakes in the near future. According to many researchers and bible people, the end is near soon.
A lot of them happen this year people come on u don't know that.
Tornadoes don't kill people every day. On average about 80 people are killed by tornadoes each year.
