How does prediction help the people in dangers way for tornadoes?
Predicting a tornado allows us to warn people in the path, allowing them to get to a safe place before it hits. In the days before we had tornado warnings many people were killed or injured because tornadoes caught them unprepared.
How many people died of tornadoes in 1953?
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.
Can people prevent tornadoes?
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.
Is the tornado siren the same as a nuclear explosion siren?
No, tornado sirens are used to warn of approaching tornadoes or severe weather, while nuclear explosion sirens are used to warn of an imminent threat of a nuclear explosion or attack. Both sirens serve different purposes and are designed to alert people to take appropriate actions based on the specific threat.

What are they doing to help stop tornadoes?
Nothing. It is impossible to stop tornadoes. We can only warn people and help them prepare.
How can tornadoes be managed?
We cannot change where or when tornadoes occur, but we can warn people so that they can get to safety and build homes and buildings that can better withstand them.
Why do scientists follow tornadoes?
Scientists follow tornadoes to track where they are going and warn people in their paths. They also study tornadoes to learn more about them so they can be better predicted.
Why do scientists keep track of tornadoes?
They do this so that they can warn people to take shelter and save lives.
Is there a way to prevent or warn of tornadoes?
There is no way to prevent tornadoes, but warning systems have been in place for decades.
Why do some people want to be tornado chasers?

They can report where a tornado is, which helps warn people who may be in the path. A few people who chase tornadoes are scientists whose goal is to study tornadoes and gain a better understanding of them. Some of the information they gather could improve tornado prediction.
Why do people track tornadoes?
People track tornadoes in order to warn people who might be in the path of one, allowing them to get to safety. Since the first efforts to track tornadoes began in the 1950's the rate of tornado related fatalities in the U.S. has been nearly cut in half. Tracking is done also to study tornadoes and better predict them, which can lead to even better advance warnings.
Why do weather forecast watch for tornado activity within thundrstorms?
Tornadoes form during thunderstorms. Of all the weather a thunderstorm can produce a tornado is perhaps the most dangerous. Tornadoes can produce very severe damage to property and can kill or inure people, especially those who are not prepared. Because of this it is important to be able to warn people about potential tornadoes
