a violent rotating column of extending air.
It varies. Based on data from the past 62 years the average F5 tornado kills 22 people. However, the F5 tornadoes in this time period had death tolls ranging from 0 to 158. The deadliest F5 tornado in U.S. history killed 695 people.
Most tornadoes in Canada do not kill at all. Those that do usually do not kill more than 2 or 3. The deadliest tornado in Canadian history killed 28 people.
If a tornado is approaching, seek shelter in a basement or an interior room on the lowest level of a sturdy building. Cover yourself with heavy blankets or a mattress to protect against flying debris. Stay tuned to a weather radio or local news for updates on the situation.
12. It is very hard to find the most updated news. So the most updated one I could find said 12 people. However not all of those people were in Greensberg however they were all killed by the same tornado.
Unless a killer tornado has happened fairly recently, the best data can be found at the Storm Prediction Center's Annual Fatal Tornado Summaries. For recent tornadoes, online news articles are usually fairly reliable, but sometimes fail to separate death tolls if there are several killer tornadoes in a day or fail to distinguish between tornadic and non-tornadic deaths. Wikipedia often does a fairly good job of doing that. As of June 28, 2014 the latest killer tornado is not listed by the Storm Prediction Center yet. That tornado hit Pilger, Nebraska on June 16, killing 2 people.

A tornado creates an area of low barometric pressure. Air spirals into the tornado and then spirals upward within it. The low pressure in a tornado cools air flowing into it, causing moisture to condense into the characteristic funnel. In many cases, though not all, the condensation reaches all the way to the ground.
Wall Cloud, Super Cell, Touch down, Tornado Alley, Tornado Warning, Severe are some word you could use ? Just tryin to help !
Inside the funnel, the air pressure is very low, so that the pressure inside the eye of a hurricane. Only that in the event of a tornado, the pressure is much lower, lower than anywhere else on Earth.
