What sound does a tornado make when it hits the ground?
When a tornado hits the ground, it produces an extremely loud and distinct sound, often described as a continuous roaring or freight train-like noise. This sound is caused by the powerful winds swirling and causing destruction, along with the debris and objects being picked up and thrown around by the tornado.
How far away do you have to be from a tornado before it sucks you up?
There is no set distance, especially since a tornado does not have a definite edge. In the weakest tornadoes even the most intense winds of the cores are not strong enough to lift a person off the ground, though they may knock you over. Large, violent tornadoes may pull you in from hundreds of yards away from the visible funnel. The greatest danger from a tornado, however, is not being sucked up but getting hit by flying or falling debris.
