There are two well-known tornadoes that can be referred to as the Windsor tornado. The first was an F3 that hit Windsor, Ontario on April 3, 1974, killing 9 people. The second was an EF3 that hit Windsor, Colorado on May 22, 2008, killing 1 person.
The Windsor, Ontario tornado was one of the 148 confirmed tornadoes of the Super Outbreak, the most intense and second largest single-day tornado outbreak on record. The outbreak occurred as a powerful low pressure system that pulled warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico over the eastern portion of North America, and forced a cool, dry air mass from the north into it, forming a cold front. The lift from this cold front caused thunderstorms, fueled by the warm moist air, to develop. Strong wind shear gave many of these thunderstorms powerful rotation that allowed them to spawn tornadoes. One of these storms, which originated over Michigan, produced the tornado that traveled through Windsor, Ontario.
The Windsor, Colorado formed under a somewhat similar setup. A low pressure system developed over the Rockies and moved eastward, pushing a mass of dry, mountain air into warm, moist air, forming a dry line. The dry line acted much like a cold front, generating the lift necessary to form thunderstorms. This spawned a series of tornadoes starting on May 22. The windsor tornado itself formed in unusual storm. Instead of traveling northeast as do most supercells in North America, this storm traveled north northwest.
As of the mornging of June 27, 2013 the last confirmed tornado was on June 24, with an unconfirmed report on June 26.
Tornadoes have occurred in all 50 states. However. Most tornadoes happen in or near the area known as tornado alley, which extends north from Texas to South Dakota and includes parts of some adjacent states.
The fire tornado happened in Brazil august 25th of 2010
Only to a very limited degree. Scientists can determine when conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop (in which case a tornado watch is issued), or even if a tornado may be developing (which would prompt a tornado warning), but cannot predict exactly where or when a tornado will touch down.
Yes, tornadoes can occur in Toronto, although they are relatively rare. Toronto is in an area that is at risk for tornadoes, but they typically do not happen as frequently or with the same intensity as in other regions, such as the central United States.
WIndsor, windy get it haha
Tornadoes do not have names, but are referred to by the places they hit. As far as official record show, the largest tornado to hit Colorado was a mile wide EF3 that hit Windsor near Fort Collins on May 22, 2008. It is sometimes referred to as the Windsor tornado.
Operation Windsor happened on 1944-07-05.
Occupy Windsor happened on 2011-10-15.
Battle of Windsor happened on 1838-12-04.
A tornado can hit a house, but cannot happen indoors.
There is not such thing as a "chemical tornado" a tornado is the result of thermodynamic physical processes.
No. A tornado is a vortex of air. There is no air in space.
It is impossible to predict where the next tornado will occur.
it will be announced on the radio that a tornado has been spotted in your area
it is generally impossible to out run a tornado but if you do hooray for you
Fathers Day Tornado happened in 2010.
