That is extremely difficult to estimate and would depend on the size and strength of the tornado and what there is to pick up. A large, violent tornado moving through a developed area might be carrying many thousands of small objects.

How long does it take scientist to warn people that a tornado is coming?

Scientists typically issue tornado warnings when they detect conditions that are likely to produce a tornado, such as a tornado forming or imminent tornado development. The lead time for a tornado warning can vary, but it is aimed to give people enough time to seek shelter and stay safe, usually ranging from a few minutes to up to an hour in advance of the tornado's arrival. It is crucial for individuals to have a reliable way to receive these warnings quickly, such as through weather radio or smartphone alerts.


Does a different type of liquid affect the time of a bottled tornado?

Yes, using a different type of liquid can affect the time it takes for a tornado to form in a bottle. Thicker liquids such as honey or syrup may take longer to form a tornado compared to lighter liquids like water or oil. The viscosity and density of the liquid will impact the speed and stability of the tornado formation.

How many tornado names are there?

None. Tornadoes are not given names like hurricanes are. Some tornadoes are referred to by where they hit (e.g. the Tuscaloosa, Alabama tornado, the Oklahoma City tornado) or, on occasion something they did (the Tri-State tornado, the tornado of the elevens) . But such things are not true names, and if they were there would be too many to count.

They can be. The apparent color of a tornado's funnel depends on the lighting conditions.
