Most tornadoes are not strong enough to throw houses. Those few that are strong enough can sometimes thrown them great distances. In one case a houses was thrown 1/4 mile. However, when a house is picked up there is a good chance it will disintegrate in the air, in which case it won't be thrown so much as it will be scattered.

What device is used to determine the direction and wind speed of a tornado?

The speed and direction of a tornado can be determined using Doppler radar by measuring how far the tornado moves between sweeps and in what direction.


What unit would you use to show how far you can throw a ball?

To show how far you can throw a ball, you would typically use units of distance such as meters or feet. These units provide a clear measurement of the throw's length. For example, you might say you can throw a ball 50 meters or 160 feet. The choice between metric or imperial units often depends on the region or context in which you're measuring.

What does the 60 percent tornado probability from the spc mean?

This is a high-risk outlook. A 60 percent tornado outlook would mean that the SPC anticipates an extremely intense tornado outbreak with multiple violent tornadoes. Only one such outlook has been issued. It was on April 7, 2006. The event was far less severe than anticipated.


What US state is both a part of tornado alley and a major hurricane landfall area?

That state would be Texas - although the parts of the state that get hurricanes and the part that is in tornado alley are rather far apart. The Gulf coast gets hurricanes. Tornado alley stretches down into the upper part of Texas near Oklahoma. Fortunately the two areas are hundreds of miles apart. Unfortunately hurricanes have been known to spawn some tornadoes so that even areas that are not part of tornado alley may get tornadoes in connection with a hurricane.

Could an EF2 Tornado Lift Up Atomic Betty's Ship?

No because a ship would be deep down into a thing and a tornado would not be able to lift it up. However, considering its size a tornado of EF4 or EF5 intensity might be able to lift it if it were exposed on the surface, but probably couldn't carry or throw it very far.


Do you hyphenate far removed?

Yes, it's a kenning. I.e. "The house was far-removed from the rest of town..." However if you're trying to be poetic then you could say "the house was far removed" where far describes removed. If you throw a comma in there ("the house was far, removed from...") then you have another meaning, too. If "far removed" is supposed to describe something, then it has a hyphen. If it's not supposed to be an adjective like red, big or happy then no.
