No. From the ground a hurricane looks mostly like a very intense storm with extreme wind and torrential rain.

Viewed from space a hurricane typically has a spiral shape to it, often with an eye in the center.

What does the inside of a tornado look like?

Within the funnel it looks like a very thick, fast-moving fog. The center of the tornado may be clear, giving the appearance of a tube.

What are vertices in a tornado as it is spinning and what do they look like?

Suction vorticies as smaller columns of rotating air within a tornado. They have more intense winds than the rest of the tornado. The suction vortices sometimes look like "mini tornadoes" moving around inside the main circulation.


What does a avalanche feel like?

An avalanche is like a giant snow eruption, like a huge hurricane or tornado of snow. It's very dangerous, and isn't a great thing to be standing near to. To see what an avalanche can look like in full blow, go on a video website, and type in 'Avalanches'. Pick any one which looks like a giant hurricane of snow.


What is worse a tornado earthquake volcano or hurricane?

One is not necessarily worse than the others. Each tornado, earthquake, volcanic eruption, and hurricane must be assessed individually. For all of these phenomena the magnitude of the effects can range from almost nothing to catastrophic. For example you can have an earthquake that does no more than knock a few pictures off of walls and a tornado that levels a whole town. Conversely, you can have an earthquake that devastates a whole region, killing thousands and a tornado that does no more than peel a few shingles. However, if we look at just the worst few cases of each type of event, earthquakes appear to come out on top. There have been more earthquakes in recorded history with death tolls in the tens to hundreds of thousands than there have been of the others, especially if you include deaths from the tsunamis that some earthquakes generate.

How do you tell a tornado from a hurricane?

A tornado is a small storm, rarely over a mile wide that is associated with a single powerful thunderstorm. A tornado is made visible by a condensation funnel and/or debris cloud. A hurricane is an enormous storm system hundreds of miles across. Hurricanes bring strong winds and heavy rain. They are so large that their overall structure can only be seen from space. See the related links for a more detailed answer and pictures of what tornadoes and hurricanes often look like.

What is the usual shape of a tornado?

Tornadoes come in different shapes, and the shape changes during the life of the tornado. Some tornadoes are like thin tubes or ropes, some look like large wedges. If it is wrapped in rain, or there isn't enough light, it can be hard to see a tornado. Sometimes clouds may look like a tornado but aren't, so looking for other clues like rotation is important.

What does an EF4 and EF5 tornado look like?

There is no given appearance for a tornado of any given rating, though EF4 and EF5 tornadoes tend to be very large, typically taking on the appearance of large wedges or columns, but not always. If there is enough visibility an EF4 or EF5 tornado will often show very violent rotation.

Why do tornadoes look like spaghetti?

It is rather unusual for a tornado to look like spaghetti. If a tornado does take on such an appearance it most likely means the tornado is dissipating or "roping out." It is believed that this occurs when cold air chokes of the warm air that feeds the mesocyclone, the rotating updraft that drives the tornado. When this happens the tornado begins to shrink and weaken. Winds within the parent storm can somtimes cause a tornado at this stage to bend into unusual shapes.
