It's special because April has the highest number of tornado fatalities of any month, though strangely May has the highest number of tornadoes.

During what season do tornadoes occur?

Where was the worst tornado ever?

That is difficult to determine. The highest winds ever recorded in a tornado were measured on May 3, 1999 near Oklahoma city. However, most tornadoes don't get their winds measure so its entirely possible, even probably, that others were stronger. Candidates include the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925; the Xenia, Ohio tornado of April 3, 1974, and the Jarrell, Texas tornado of May 27, 1997.


What do weak tornadoes do?

Weak tornadoes are those rated EF0 or EF1 and cause damage that is considered mils to moderate. Typical EF0 damage includes some shingles and siding stripped from homes. Gutters and awnings may be taken down as well. Tree limbs will be broken and weakly rooted trees may be toppled. Typical EF1 damage includes severe damage to house roofs, and broken windows. Barns and outbuildings may collapse. Trailers can be overturned or very severely damaged.

How tornadoes be different from another?

There are many ways in which tornadoes can differ. They can differ in wind speed, winds may range from 65 mph to over 300 mph, though the lower wind ranges are more common. They can differ in diameter, ranging from less than 10 yards wide, to the record size of 2.5 miles. Distance traveled can range from several yards to over 200 miles (the record is 219 miles). Tornadoes can range from being nearly stationary to traveling at over 70 mph. Tornadoes differ in how long they last, ranging from a few seconds to over 3 hours. Tornadoes can even differ in structure. Some tornadoes are a simple single vortex while others have a downdraft moving down the center, this can produce multiple smaller vorticies within the funnel. All of these factors combined with where and when a tornado hits influences how much damage occurs and how many deaths and injuries there are.
