What is worst a tornado watch or warning?
"Worse" is not the word, let's say "more important": Tornado warning is more important. A tornado "watch" means weather conditions are such that there is a possibility a tornado could form. But there have been no tornadoes as of yet. A Tornado warning means A tornado has been spotted/touched down in your alert area. You should take cover if a tornado warning is issued for your area; go into a cellar, or the lowest, most inner part of your house where there are no windows (a downstairs or basement bathroom is ideal). Tornado watch? Merely continue to monitor the weather broadcasts.

Has there been a tornado in girardville pa?
No. Tornadoes have been recorded in Girardville since official records began in 1950 and no significant tornadoes (F2 or stronger or causing a death) have ever been recorded in Girardville. However, at least one tornado has been recorded near the town: an F0 that touched down just outside Fountain Springs in 1954. Tornadoes as strong as F2 have been recorded elsewhere in Schuylkill County, so even if it hasn't been hit yet, that doesn't meant it can't be hit.

How do you know if a tornado has formed yet?
Listen to warnings via a battery-powered weather radio or monitor the situation through the National Weather Service website. If you are watching a tornado form, which is not recommended, you will know it has formed when either the funnel reaches the ground or when dust and debris go airborne beneath it.
What has no one ever done before?
It is challenging to definitively determine what has never been done before due to the vastness of human experience. However, there are likely countless unique combinations of actions, events, or circumstances that have not yet occurred.

Where has the most destructive tornado occured give details about the tornado?
There are two candidates. On official records the most destructive tornado was the F5 that hit the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999. The tornado killed 36, injured 583, and caused about $1 billion in property damage. The damage path was 38 miles long and 1 mile wide. Doppler radar measured winds over 300 mph in this storm at a height of about 100 ft, the fastest ever recorded on this planet. The tornado first touched down south of Amber, Oklahoma and moved into the town of Bridge Creek where the first of the catastrophic damage occurred. The tornado then moved back out into open country before hitting the OKC area. The worst damage was in the suburb of Moore, where the tornado struck at peak intensity. It then turned to the north, continuing its trail of destruction before dissipating near Midwest City. The other candidate is unofficial as data is not yet finalized. This was the EF5 tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri on May 22, 2011. This tornado killed at least 158 and injured over 1,000, marking it as the 7th deadliest in U.S. history. Damages is estimated at $1-3 billion. The damage path was 22 miles long and 3/4mile to 1 mile wide. The tornado touched down a few miles west of Joplin and grew and intensified at an explosive rate. By the time it hit Joplin it was already a very strong tornado and was still gaining strength. The tornado reached peak intensity as it passed just south of downtown Joplin with ground level winds estimated at 225-250 mph. The tornado then weakened before leaving the city, but continue to produce damage to farms and trees before dissipating some distance west of the city. When the storm was over 1/3 of Joplin was destroyed.
