Which is more dangerous tornadoes or waterspouts?
Tornadoes are generally more dangerous as they are stronger than waterspouts.
Are waterspouts usually more dangerous than tornadoes?
No, in fact, they are much less powerful. ----- A waterspout is a tornado that forms over water instead of land. Unless you are on water, in its path, a tornado would be worse, because more people live on land.
Are waterspouts usually more dangerous than true tornadoes?
Waterspouts are often thought to be less "deadly" than tornadoes because there is not really any property for them to pick up/destroy: They generally are not carrying gigantic amounts of debris to cause destruction, and hardly any human lives are at risk. However, they ARE tornadoes - just on water- They have "deadly" winds (think about how heavy all that water is). While fair-weather waterspouts rarely produce winds over 70 mph, tornadic waterspouts can be just as strong as any tornado.
Do waterspouts kill people?
While waterspouts can be dangerous by causing damage to boats and structures, they are typically not strong enough to cause fatalities. However, it is important to take precautions and avoid waterspouts when spotted to prevent accidents and injuries.
Can water tornadoes be dangerous or make F5 or EF5 tornadoes?
Waterspouts can be dangerous but it would be very unusual for one to reach EF5 strength. There are two types of waterspout: tornadic waterspouts and fair weather waterspouts. Fair weather waterspouts are the more common variety by far. They form from convection over a warm body of water. They are weaker than true tornadoes, rarely exceeding EF1 strength. They rarely cause damage, but they can be dangerous to people in boats. Tornadic waterspouts are simply tornadoes that happen to be on a body of water. They can be just as strong and just as dangerous as regular tornadoes. One reaching EF5 strength would still be unusual. EF5 tornadoes are rare as it is. It so happens that the regions (at least in the U.S.) where violent tornadoes are most common don't have many large bodies of water. Occasionally, though, a violent tornado has crossed a lake or river and briefly become a waterspout of sorts.
