Can a tornado lift a house out of the ground?
Out of the ground, no. However, a strong enough tornado can wipe a house from its foundation. Normally this will earn a tornado a rating of EF4 or EF5, though if the house is poorly anchored an EF3 rating may be appropriate.
How do you protect a tornado from a house?
To protect a house from a tornado, reinforce the roof, doors, and windows with stronger materials like impact-resistant glass, metal doors, and reinforced roofing. Additionally, consider installing storm shutters, a safe room, or underground shelter for added protection. Regularly maintaining trees and other structures around the house to prevent them from becoming projectiles during a tornado is also important.
How can Bernoulli's principle be used to predict how a house may be damaged in a tornado?
Bernoulli's principle explains that as wind speed increases, air pressure decreases. In a tornado, high wind speeds can cause a drop in air pressure, increasing the force exerted on a house. This can lead to structural damage as the force of the wind pushes against the walls and roof of the house.
Can a tornado pick up a brick house?
Yes, it is possible but it would take a very powerful tornado to do so. One of at least EF4 strength if the house isn't well anchored. If it is well anchored it would likely require an EF5 tornado. One person managed to capture such an event on video near the town of Elie, Manitoba on June 22, 2007. Despite the tornado's relatively small size it was violent enough to be rated as Canada's only official F5 tornado.
What is an F2 tornado?
F2 is a rating on the Fujita scale, which assess tornado intensity based on damage. The scale runs from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest. F2 indicates a strong tornado (most tornadoes are F0 or F1) that can tear the roof from a well-built house and lift cars off the ground.
