When the eye of a tornado, or the area of calm winds at its center, appears more severe than the surrounding tornado, it may indicate the presence of a stronger, more organized vortex within the storm. This phenomenon can occur if the tornado is undergoing a process called "tornado intensification," where the funnel tightens and strengthens, leading to increased wind speeds and more destructive potential. Additionally, the surrounding storm can create a feedback loop, enhancing the tornado’s intensity as it draws in more energy and moisture. Such occurrences are relatively rare, but they highlight the complex dynamics of severe weather systems.
When the eye of a tornado becomes more intense and destructive than the larger tornado, it is known as a "tornado within a tornado" or a "satellite tornado." This phenomenon occurs when a smaller, more powerful vortex forms within the main tornado circulation.
No. We did not have a warning system back when the tornado hit in 1927. People in nearby towns were not even aware the tornado had occurred until some time after.
If you mean the debris being carried by a tornado, if it hasn't already been thrown out of the tornado it simply gets dropped to the ground once the tornado is no longer strong enough to carry it.
yeah
As with most words, the etymology cannot be traced back to any particular person. The first recorded use of the word "tornado" was in 1556. It comes from the Spanish word "tronada," which means thunderstorm.
Usually tornadoes are found in the southwest quadrant of the thunderstorm, which is the updraft portion, usually at the back of the storm.
Yes. Tornadoes are not uncommon in Ohio, and contrary to what some believe, no location is "protected." Modern records, which date back to 1950, show that at least one tornado has hit Zanesville.
No. Tornadoes often form near the back edge of a thunderstorm, and so part of the sky may be blue during a tornado. In tornadic and other severe thunderstorms, it is also not uncommon for the clouds to take on a greenish hue.
In some cases one tornado will dissipate completely, and then a completely new tornado will form afterward from the same thunderstorm. This is called a tornado family.
Depends. After shaving it it does at a faster rate each time and when it comes back it is thicker and fuller. After waxing it it does a month later thicker and fuller. Laser hair removal I'm told comes back much later. Burned portions of the body might grow hair depending on how severe the burn.
A contingency plan is a back up plan for when things go wrong or could go wrong. An example of a contingency plan is what you would do when you lose a job or when a tornado comes.
The weather that precedes a tornado, including heavy rain and hail generally occurs in the front part of a supercell thunderstorm, with the tornado closer to the back.
