death
Yes. A tornado can easily injure or kill you. Some injuries may have lasting effects.
No, Dust Tornado is a destruction card but not a negation card.
Tornadoes cause major property damage and often kill and injure people. The main concerns regarding tornadoes are these effects and warning people when a tornado is coming.
The Xenia, Ohio tornado of 1974 killed 32 people directly. Two others died from indirect effects of the tornado.
The Joplin tornado did not cause extensive ground scouring as some EF5 tornadoes do, but it still destroyed many thousands of trees and man-made structures and scoured pavement from parking lots. About a quarter of the buildings in Joplin suffered some degree of damage.
The effects when a tornado touches the ground, include damage or destruction of vegetation an man-made structures and humans and animals killed or injured.
After a tornado people have to clean up debris and repair any damage to their property, which sometimes involves entirely rebuilding a home or business. This has a great financial impact. Some people have to recover from injuries and psychological trauma and some mourn the loss of friends, family, and pets.
Yes. In some cases a large, strong tornado will produce what is called a satellite tornado, which circles the main one.
No. The unequal heating will produce breezes, and perhaps clouds and rain, but much more is required to produce a tornado.
Yes, in some instances one tornado may spawn a smaller satellite tornado.
Tornadoes often go through a series of stages as they develop, strengthen, and dissipate, often with distinct appearances.The dust whirl stage: The ground-level circulation of the tornado is developingThe organizing stage: The tornado is on the ground and increasing in size and intensity.The mature stage: The tornado is at its largest and generally strongest point.The shrinking stage: The tornado begins to narrow and lose energy. Due to dynamic effects, some tornadoes intensify at this point.The rope-out stage: The tornado becomes very narrow and the funnel may bend and wind as the tornado weakens and eventually dissipates.
A tornado is a kind of vortex so yes, in some ways.
