As of the evening of December 24, 2012 there are no tornadoes currently on the ground.
You are most likelt to find a tornado in the outer storm bands, most often in the front-right quadrant.
A tornado warning is when someone has seen a funnel cloud or when a tornado touchdown has been reported. A tornado warning is in play for the people near, or remotely near, or even right next to the tornadic activity area. I agree, but when they give out a warning, it is most likely they'll do it by county.
Tornadoes can occur in any region that has the right atmospheric conditions, not just at the equator. These conditions include warm, moist air meeting cooler, drier air, which can create the necessary rotation for a tornado to form.
Right now it is 1 AM in Chicago
No, it is not possible to stop a tornado with another tornado. Tornadoes are formed by specific weather conditions in the atmosphere, and introducing another tornado would not have any effect on the existing tornado.
No such articles exist. Tornadoes do not last long enough for articles to be written about them as they occur.
The strongest winds in a tornado are typically on the right side of the tornado's path, known as the "right-front quadrant." This area can experience wind speeds exceeding 200 mph, making it the most dangerous part of the tornado.
When a tornado touches down it means it has reached the ground and can now cause damage. It is not a tornado until this occurs,
Because if there is a real tornado you will now what to do.
That depends on where you are relative to the tornado. Most tornadoes travel in an easterly direction, so if you are watichng a tornado and are south of it, it will move to your right, and if you are north of it, it will move to your left.
Yes. Tornado warnings are now a common part of severe weather alerts.
it is unpredictable to tell what a tornado's path will be it could be coming right towards you then out of no where turn
Probably not. As of my writing this, there are no active tornado warnings in the United States, but that could change by the time you read this. For actual up-to-date information check out the website of the National Weather Service for current weather watches and warnings in the US.
A tornado watch means that general weather conditions are right for tornadoes to form, even if there is no imminent threat. If there is immediate danger of a tornado then a tornado warning will be issued. To help you remember, a tornado watch simply tells you to watch out.
No. A tornado watch means the general weather conditions are favorable for tornadoes. If a tornado has been sighted then a tornado warning is issued.
Niether. In the unlikely event that a tornado and a tsunami met, the tornado would go right over the tsunami and neither would be significantly affected.
This refers to a specific tornado watch that was issued and has now of course expired by the time this question was answered.
