Tornadoes do not cause lighting. However tornadoes form during thunderstorms, so they are often accompanied by lightning.
Lightning typically kills more people than tornadoes each year. Lightning strikes can be unpredictable and widespread, causing fatalities due to direct strikes or related injuries. Tornadoes are less common but can cause significant damage and casualties when they occur.
No, lightning typically kills fewer people than hurricanes or tornadoes. On average, lightning causes around 30-60 deaths per year in the United States, while hurricanes and tornadoes can cause hundreds of deaths in a single event.
No, lightning cannot stop a tornado. Lightning and tornadoes are independent weather phenomena. Lightning can occur during thunderstorms, which are often associated with tornadoes, but it does not have the ability to influence or stop a tornado.
No they mostly strike the US but lightning strikes everywhere
A storm that includes both tornadoes and lightning is called a supercell thunderstorm. These powerful storms can produce both tornadoes and frequent lightning strikes due to the intense atmospheric conditions they create.
No. Since tornadoes form in thunderstorms they are usually accompanied by lightning, but they do not actually cause lightning.
Because they form in thunderstorms tornadoes are usually accompanied by lightning, but they do not cause it.
Tornadoes and lightning are both forms of severe weather phenomena associated with thunderstorms. They can both cause significant damage and threat to life. Additionally, both tornadoes and lightning are generated by powerful updrafts and downdrafts within a thunderstorm.
Tornadoes and lightning are often associated with severe thunderstorms. Lightning can occur before, during, or after a tornado is formed. Tornadoes can form within severe thunderstorms where there is intense updraft and rotation in the atmosphere, which can be fueled by lightning activity.
Lightning typically kills more people than tornadoes each year. Lightning strikes can be unpredictable and widespread, causing fatalities due to direct strikes or related injuries. Tornadoes are less common but can cause significant damage and casualties when they occur.

No, lightning typically kills fewer people than hurricanes or tornadoes. On average, lightning causes around 30-60 deaths per year in the United States, while hurricanes and tornadoes can cause hundreds of deaths in a single event.
Both tornadoes and lightning are produced by thunderstorms.
Lightning occurs within tornadoes due to intense convective forces and the separation of electrical charges within the storm. As air rises rapidly inside the tornado, friction between particles can create and build up static electricity, leading to lightning discharges.
No, lightning cannot stop a tornado. Lightning and tornadoes are independent weather phenomena. Lightning can occur during thunderstorms, which are often associated with tornadoes, but it does not have the ability to influence or stop a tornado.
There is no such thing as a lightning tornado. Lightning and tornadoes are two different phenomena. They are both very dangerous, though, each claiming dozens of lives every year.
Since tornadoes are spawned by thunderstorms they are often accompanied by lightning. Additionally, some survivors have reported seeing the inside of a tornado frequently lit up by lightning.
