During a tornado
If you are in a house
Go to the basement or take shelter in a small interior ground floor room such as a bathroom, closet or hallway.
If you have no basement, protect yourself by taking shelter under a heavy table or desk.
In all cases, stay away from windows, outside walls and doors.
It is inevitable that Orlando will eventually have a tornado, as it is in a tornado prone area. However we won't know when the next one will be until it actually happens.
After a tornado picks up dirt, the dirt particles are carried along with the tornado's swirling winds. As the tornado moves, it can deposit the dirt particles when its winds weaken or when it dissolves. The dirt can then settle back to the ground once the tornado dissipates.
That varies. If you are close enough to be in the area of the tornado's inflow then the wind will blow almost directly towards the tornado, perhaps a little to the right of that direction. In that case the wind direction will depend on where the tornado is relative to you. If you are beyond the inflow area for the tornado, then nothing about the wind direction would indicate the approaching tornado.
As of October of 2012 the last recorded tornado ins Alaska was on July 25, 2005 near Sand Point. It was rated F0.
When a tornado begins to dissipate it usually shrinks. Usually this means a tornado is weakening , though some tornado intensify at this point. As the tornado continues to get smaller the funnel may becomes bent and elongated, giving it a rope like appearance. In fact, this process is called "roping out" As this happens the tornado will continues to shrink and weaken until it completely dissipates.
Eastern Colorado near the Oklahoma state line sees relatively high tornado activity and is considered part of tornado alley.
The area in which the tornado happens can erode the area away cause the animals that lived there to have no home or die of the tornado
A satellite tornado is a tornado that touches down near and usually orbits a larger tornado within the same mesocyclone.
Not exactly in the funnel of a tornado, but in somce cases a rainbow may appear next to, in front of, or behind a tornado. This often happens when a tornado is near the edge of a thunderstorm and is surrounded by rain. Since tornadoes most often occur in the late afternoon, the sun can easily be at a low enough angle to produce a rainbow.
No. While Ontario does get tornadoes, it is nowhere near Tornado Alley. Tornado Alley is farther west.
Don't go near windows.
Signs that a tornado may be near include a dark, greenish sky, large hail, a loud roaring sound, and a visible funnel cloud. If you hear a tornado warning or see these signs, seek shelter immediately.

The tornado
People have to rush to their basements and hide when the tornado comes. If people are outside, they need to immediately go to the nearby building and hide.
Yes, normally this happens to planes on the ground when a tornado strikes an airport.
Well, if you fly through sky in the tornado your plane will be crushed.
