No. Twisters and tornadoes are the same thing.

Why are most tornadoes f0-f1?

The stronger a tornado the more energy it takes and most storms do not have the energy to produce a tornado stronger than F1 or are not organized enough to focus that energy into a tornado. Additionally, tornado ratings are based on damage and some tornadoes stay in open fields, causing no damage. Such tornadoes are rated F0.


Do stronger tornadoes last longer than weaker ones?

Generally, stronger tornadoes have longer lifespans than weaker tornadoes. Strong tornadoes are typically associated with more intense and organized thunderstorms, which can sustain the conditions necessary for a tornado to persist for a longer period of time. Weaker tornadoes, on the other hand, often form from less stable atmospheric conditions and have shorter durations.


How fast can winds be inside a tornado?

Most tornadoes have peaking winds of less than 110 mph, but these events are rarely notable. Violent tornadoes are much stronger, with the most powerful packing winds well over 200 mph. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was to 302 mph in the Oklahoma City tornado of May 3, 1999, though this was at a point more than 100 feet off the ground where winds are stronger. Other tornadoes have produced more impressive damage than the OKC tornado without getting their winds measured and may very well have been more intense.


What is the diffreence between thin and fat tornadoes?

Thin tornadoes are typically weak and do not conjure much damage, while fat tornadoes are usually much more dangerous, and can grow to over mile in width. However, this is only the general trend. Some very large tornadoes have been relatively weak while a few very violent tornadoes have been relatively small.


How strong are the winds of tornado?

It varies widley from one tornado to another, and most tornadoes will vary in strength during their time on the ground. Weak tornadoes may have peak winds of only about 65 mph. In rare cases, peak winds may exceed 300 mph. Generally weaker tornadoes are more common.

Which one is stronger a earthquake or a tornado?

It's a bit hard to say. as the two are so different. In terms of both destructive potential and energy it varies. However, most powerful earthquakes release far more energy and are more destructive than the most powerful tornadoes.


Is a tornado dangerous?

All tornadoes are dangerous. Wedge tornadoes are usually stronger and thus more dangerous than smaller tornadoes, though this is not always the case.


Is a wedge tornado dangerous?

Yes, wedge tornadoes are very dangerous. They are typically large and powerful tornadoes with a wide base that can cause significant damage and pose serious risks to life and property. It is important to take immediate shelter if a wedge tornado is in your area.

Are Enhanced Fujita Scale tornadoes more powerful than Fujota Scale tornadoes?

No. The tornadoes are the same strength. The Enhanced Fujita scale is just a more advanced way of analyzing the strength of a tornado.
