The air is very fast. Especially in a severe thunderstorm. The wind can go as fast as 100mph.

Yes. A high-risk outlook does not need to be issued just on account of tornadoes. One case of a severe thunderstorm watch during a high-risk outlook came on June 12, 2013.
Usually tornadoes are found in the southwest quadrant of the thunderstorm, which is the updraft portion, usually at the back of the storm.
Severe thunderstorms often form along cold fronts, though not always.
A severe thunderstorm watch is issued by the Storm Prediction Center when conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms, including the possibility of large hail and damaging winds. The likelihood of a severe thunderstorm watch being issued in a Moderate Risk (MDT) area will depend on various factors such as atmospheric instability, wind shear, and moisture levels. While a severe thunderstorm watch may not be extremely rare in a MDT risk area, it is still considered a significant event warranting attention from residents and authorities.
Thunderstorms are fueled by warm, moist air. The moisture releases energy when it condenses.
Most of them are very small i guess, but the small severe thunderstorm can be very serious and deadly.
The warm air mass is generally warmest, and thus most unstable, just ahead of the cold front.
The average air pressure in a thunderstorm can vary, but it is typically lower than the surrounding air due to the updrafts and downdrafts associated with the storm. This pressure drop can contribute to the intensity of the storm and the formation of severe weather.
Strong winds in a thunderstorm occur due to the rapid movement of air within the storm system. As warm air rises and cold air descends, it creates an updraft and downdraft that can result in powerful gusts. Additionally, the presence of severe weather conditions like tornadoes or microbursts can further intensify the winds in a thunderstorm.
The crime was severe enough to be handled directly by the Supreme Court.

Most severe thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes. If a tornado is detected or it is believed a storm might produce one a tornado warning is issued, which is more serious than a severe thunderstorm warning. A thunderstorm that produces a tornado is automatically classified as severe even if other severe weather (damaging non-tornadic wind or large hail) does not occur.
A severe storm warning is issued when a severe storm has already been detected and poses a threat. It signifies that severe weather conditions are imminent or occurring and people should take precautions to stay safe. It does not necessarily indicate that a severe storm might form in the future.
