What are fun facts about tornadoes?

Answer 1

• Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scaled based on the severity of the damage they inflict. Ratings range from EF0 for the weakest tornadoes to EF5 for the strongest.
• Some tornadoes contain multiple smaller vortices which can sometimes give a tornado two or more funnels.
• Strange phenomena have occurred during tornadoes. One tornado tore a wall from a house but left pottery in place on a shelf against that wall. Others have lifted houses from their foundations while causing little damage to them and still others have left objects such as forks, straws, and vinyl records stuck in trees and utility poles.

Answer 2

Tornadoes can occur anywhere in the world, but are most common in the central United States. They can reach wind speeds of over 300 mph, making them one of the most powerful natural phenomena on Earth. Tornadoes can vary in size from just a few feet to over a mile wide, and their paths can be relatively short or can stretch for hundreds of miles.
