Tornadoes destroy property in two ways. Powerful winds can tear apart or collapse structures. Second, the winds can carry objects at high speeds, this flying debris can make damage more severe than the wind alone.
Tornadoes do not get names, that's hurricanes.
Hurricanes get named, Tornadoes do not. Tornadoes get a classification rating from F0 to F5* depending on the damage they produce (an indicator of wind intensity). Some are identified by occurrence ("the Kansas City tornado of 1986"), but they are not given a specific name. In the US, the "Enhanced Fujita Scale" is used, with ratings from EF0 to EF5. Additionally, there have been tens of thousands of tornadoes recorded; it would be impossible to list them all here.
Yes, hurricanes can be very destructive due to their strong winds, heavy rainfall, storm surge, and potential for flooding. They can cause major damage to infrastructure, homes, and natural environments, as well as pose risks to human life. Proper preparation and response are crucial to minimize the impact of hurricanes.
There are many different types of violent windstorms including tornadoes, microbursts, derechos, and hurricanes.
One specific tornado name is the Tri-State Tornado, which occurred on March 18, 1925 and is considered to be one of the deadliest tornadoes in US history. It traveled through Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, causing extensive damage and claiming the lives of over 600 people.
The name for a storm with rapidly spinning air that becomes dangerous is a tornado. Tornadoes can cause significant damage with their strong winds and are capable of causing devastation in a short period of time.
sir they dont name tornadoes just hurricanes
Tornadoes do not get names, that's hurricanes.
Hurricanes and tornadoes are rated on different scales. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale from category 1 to category 5. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale (formerly the Fujita scale) from EF0 to EF5.

Tornadoes are not given names a hurricanes are, but may be referred to by the places they hit. In this case, the most destructive tornado on record is the Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011 which caused $2.8 billion in property damage.
No. Tornadoes are not named like hurricanes are. Many tornadoes can be referred to by the town or state that they hit, such as the Tri-State tornado or the Joplin tornado.
Do you mean the National Weather Service giving tornadoes male names and hurricanes female names? If so, the answer is no. Hurricanes are named from lists that are compiled of a name starting with each letter of the alphabet and alternating in gender. Tornadoes do not get names at all.
The tornado (or more properly, waterspout) was not given a name as tornadoes are not named.
A tornado in the U.S. is simply called a tornado. They do not get individual names as hurricanes do.
The scale used to rank hurricanes and measure their damage potential is called the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. It categorizes hurricanes based on their sustained wind speeds and provides an estimate of the potential damage they can cause.
