Many structures in a hurricane and tornado-prone areas are actually fairly well-built and there are a fair number of brick structures as well. By law, new mobile homes in Florida must be built to withstand winds in excess of 130 mph, as opposed to an loder requirement of 90 mph. However, not many structures, wood or brick, can remain intact after being hit by the full force of an EF3 or stronger or the storm surge of a major hurricane.

Why do tornadoes form more often in tornado alley than any other place on earth?
Tornado Alley has an ideal climatic setup. In the spring storm systems cause warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico to collide with cool air from Canada and dry air from the Rockies, resulting in the formation of strong thunderstorms. About a mile off the ground a layer of stable air holds thunderstorm activity back, allowing instability to build underneath it. As a result when the storm break through the cap the instability will be enormous, leading to explosively powerful thunderstorms. At the same time wind speed and direction varies with altitude, which sets these storms rotating and also strengthens the updraft. This rotation combined with strong thunderstorm updrafts can then produce tornadoes. Similar conditions can occur elsewhere, but not as often.
How can you build your own hurricane shutters?
You can build hurricane shutters by measuring and cutting plywood to fit your windows, then attaching them with screws and brackets. It's crucial to make sure the shutters are securely fastened and cover the entire window to provide proper protection during a storm. Consider adding a waterproof sealant or coating to the shutters for extra durability.
How have people adapted after tornadoes?
After tornadoes, people have adapted by building stronger and more resilient structures, improving warning systems and emergency preparedness, creating community tornado shelters, and increasing education and awareness about tornado safety and planning. Additionally, many individuals and communities have developed response and recovery plans to help expedite recovery efforts after a tornado strikes.
Why do tornadoes occur most often in the area known as tornado alley?
No other place in the world has such ideal conditions for tornado formation. Warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico frequently moves over the region from the south. This collides with cool air from Canada and dry air from the Rockies. This collisions of air mass is often triggers thunderstorms, often very strong ones. The region also frequently gets strong wind shear. This can tilt storms, causing them to further intensify, and can also start them rotating. Tornadoes develop from this rotation. Another factor is a layer of very stable air that forms about a mile off the ground, called a cap. This cap holds back thunderstorm development, causing instability to build up underneath it. If a developing storm is strong enough it can break through the cap, and if it does it will develop rapidly and become very intense.
Why did hurricane Hugo happen?
Hurricane Hugo first formed on September 9, 1989. Hurricanes are a force of nature and they happen when certain conditions cause winds to build up over the water, then move onto the land. This is why Hurricane Hugo happened.
Is tornado mostly constructive or destructive?
Tornadoes are a destructive force. They cause some erosion but do no build up any features.

Did tails build the tornado?
Yes, he did.
How do you build a tornado out of LEGO?
Well all you got to do is get a Lego book, find a tornado, make it and POOF!!!!You got yourself a tornado!
Why is the outside of a tornado so rough and in the center of a tornado so peaceful?
Winds spiral in toward the low pressure center of a tornado an build up great speed due to this pressure gradient. However, as they get into the outer part of the tornado's core they are actually spinning so fast that the low pressure cannot pull this air in any further. So the air at the center remains relatively calm. A similar phenomenon is what creates the eye of a hurricane.
How do you make a building tornado proof?
Build it underground.
How do you access build mode in Lego Harry Potter?
Build mode is inside Gringott's bank in Diagon Alley.
Why did tails build tornado?
so they could go to places faster or get across water that sonic cant go in and tornado is a plane

Why do Americans living in the Tornado Alley build their fragile homes of (ply)wood and have them destroyed instead of using concrete and bricks like nearly all European home builders?
The homes themselves are not so fragile, as the method of construction matters, not just the materials. The tornadoes that destroy homes in the Midwest are also easily capable of destroying brick homes as well. Even then, only a small percentage of homes, even in Tornado Alley, are ever hit by a significant tornado. Contrary to popular belief, most tornadoes do little more than break windows and peel roof tiles. That said, many houses are not built as well as they should be. This is largely due to construction companies wanting to cut corners and build houses cheaply. The people buying the houses are not necessarily informed of structural deficiencies.

What different materials and construction techniques are used to build structures to withstand a tornado?
Some methods that do not deviate far from normal construction for small structures such as houses include hurricane ties to help secure the roof, steel anchor bolts for the foundation, and closely spaced beams in the wall. Structures made for intense tornadoes may be build with steel-reinforced concrete.
