After a destructive tornado homes, businesses, and farms have to be rebuilt, and in extreme cases roads need to be repaved.
Even in relatively weak tornadoes structures such as barns an garages will need to be rebuilt, roofs re-tiled, windows replaced, and power lines need to be put back up.
It is highly unlikely for a tornado to pick up an elephant due to their size and weight. Tornadoes are capable of lifting smaller objects such as debris and farm animals, but the sheer mass of an elephant would make it extremely difficult for a tornado to lift.
It is not possible to stand in the middle of a tornado. The winds would be too strong to even get there. People have been know to be picked up by a tornado and thrown several miles away without being killed.
Yes, a tornado can potentially knock down a mausoleum due to its extreme winds and destructive power. The strength and size of the tornado, as well as the construction materials and design of the mausoleum, will determine the extent of damage.
No, it is not safe to be in a subway during a tornado. It is important to seek shelter in a designated tornado shelter or in an underground area away from the storm's path. Subways may flood or suffer structural damage during extreme weather events.
The would probably by the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925. This tornado was a mile wide and reached F5 intensity, the highest level on the Fujita scale. The low cloud base made this tornado difficult to identify, and at time it traveled at over 70 mph, giving people little time to take cover.
The worst tornado of 2012 would probably be the EF4 tornado that hit the towns of Henryville, New Pekin, and Marysville in Indiana on March 2, killing 11 people.
The tornado would not be affected in any way. The bullet would probably have is direction changed by violent winds of the tornado and will eventually either be embedded in something or fall out of the tornado to the ground.
For a massive wedge tornado, anything short of a nuclear bomb would probably not do much. A nuclear bomb would probably disrupt it, but at the same time would cause far more damage than the tornado itself could.
Yes. An F3 tornado would probably be able to lift a monster truck.
Depends on what you mean by "better." You are more likely to experience a tornado in Kansas, but most people would not consider that a good thing. The tornadoes in Rhode Island are not as dangerous as the ones in Kansas as they are generally weaker. So it would probably not be as bad to be hit by a Rhode Island tornado as you would be at a lower risk of injury or death.
The explosion would probably disrupt the tornado. However, the effects of the blast and fallout would likely be worse than anything the tornado could do. Even then, the parent thunderstorm may still go on to produce another tornado.
It would depend on the severity of the tornado.
The cylinders would need to be bored to 4", which would probably make the walls too thin.
A meteorologist would be someone who would qualify someone to be a tornado chaser. Tornado chasing is such a dangerous task to be in. It can be scary but a lot of people have been qualified.
It has an effect on the environment by knocking down trees and it has an effect on people because the tornado would pick up dust from the ground and throw it around and people would breath it in instead of clear oxygen.
It's not generally a law, however, mortgage companies would require it to approve financing.
Yes, a strong enough tornado could lift a tractor trailer. It would probably take a a strong EF2 or EF3 to do so.
