Any tornado, is considered to be severe weather. Even tornadoes rated as "weak" still pack strong enough winds to damage man-made structures.

Does a severe thunderstorm warning occur a tornado?
Most severe thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes. If a tornado is detected or it is believed a storm might produce one a tornado warning is issued, which is more serious than a severe thunderstorm warning. A thunderstorm that produces a tornado is automatically classified as severe even if other severe weather (damaging non-tornadic wind or large hail) does not occur.
When an eye of a tornado comes back more severe than the general tornado what is that called?
a lithosphere
Is a severe thunderstorm watch better than a tornado watch?
Generally speaking, yes. A tornado watch means that tornadoes are possible. A severe thunderstorm watch means that severe thunderstorms are possible. Although severe thunderstorms can cause damage they are not nearly as destructive as tornadoes can be.
What is the strong tornado that forms a cloud of dust when it makes contact with the ground?
It is simply a tornado and even a tornado that is considered "weak" by tornado standards can produce a cloud of dust at ground level.
What does a tornado do to trees?
It varies depending on the tornado. Stronger tornadoes inflict more severe damage. Even a relatively weak tornado will snap tree limbs and the occasional trunk. Some trees may be uprooted. A strong tornado will snap or uproot most of the trees in its path. Some trees may be entirely lifted into the air. In a violent (EF4 or EF5) tornado the few trees that remain in place are stripped of their bark and left with only stubs of the largest branches.
Is an F0 tornado same as a gustnado?
No. An F0 tornado is simple a weak tornado, or one that does little to no damage. A gustnado is a vortex that resembles a tornado that forms in the outflow boundary of a severe thunderstorm. Gustnadoes can occasionally cause damage comparable to an F0 or F1 tornado, but they are not considered tornadoes.
Does a severe thunderstorm warning occur a tornado?
Most severe thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes. If a tornado is detected or it is believed a storm might produce one a tornado warning is issued, which is more serious than a severe thunderstorm warning. A thunderstorm that produces a tornado is automatically classified as severe even if other severe weather (damaging non-tornadic wind or large hail) does not occur.
What is a reason a tornado is a severe storm?
A tornado is a form of severe weather because it develops during a thunderstorm and is capable of producing substantial damage.
Does a tornado come from a severe thunderstorm?
Yes. Tornadoes form from severe thunderstorms.
What has the potential of producing a tornado with little or no advanced tornado warning?
Severe thunderstorms have the potential of producing a tornado with little or no advanced tornado warning.
How does a meteorologist know how a mild tornado or a strong tornado?
Meteorologists and engineers examine the damage done by a tornado a rate if from EF0 to EF5 based on how severe the damage is. EF0 and EF1 (light to moderate damage) tornadoes are considered weak. EF2 and EF3 tornadoes are classified as strong. EF4 and EF5 tornadoes are classified as violent.
When an eye of a tornado comes back more severe than the general tornado what is that called?
a lithosphere
Are there tornado warnings?
Yes. Tornado warnings are now a common part of severe weather alerts.
Can a tornado destroy a steel shipping container?
It depends on how strong the tornado is. If its a weak tornado then most likely it can not, but if it's a very strong tornado it is very possible that it can.
Which form of severe weather has the greatest windspeeds?
tornado
What is a rope-shaped tornado?
A rope-shaped tornado is a narrow tornado with a rope-like appearance. If a tornado is rope-shaped, that often means it is weak or starting to dissipate.
Does a dust devil develop into a tornado?
No. A dust devil is a whirlwind that forms from localized convection caused by heating from the sun. As such, they form under sunny conditions. Tornadoes develop from severe thunderstorms. Dust devils can, on rare occasions, produce minor damage similar to that of a very weak tornado.
