Tornadoes

There were 1,098 confirmed tornadoes in the United States in 2007.

before a tornado arrives there are some of natures thickest clouds which block out light as they block out light the last colour to leave the sky is green, red, brown, or orange making it appear green, red, brown, or orange. Exactly the same as when the sun goes down sure the whole sky does not go green, red, brown, or orange, but if you look at the horizon the sun went behind just after the sun goes down the horizon will glow green, red, brown, or orange.

Well lots of storm chasers are out there to collect data on storms and tornadoes and how they form and such so we can better predict them in the future and understand why some storms have tornadoes and some don't. The better we understand storms the more lives we can save.

Gale tornado is a term used to describe a very strong tornado with wind speeds exceeding 200 mph. These tornadoes are capable of causing catastrophic damage and are often associated with severe weather events.

Tornadoes are common in Texas do to a number of factors. Warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets cool air from northern Canada and dry air from the Rockies. This triggers thunderstorms. Wind shear, which is common over Texas then acts on the storms, setting them rotating, which allows them to produce tornadoes. Additionally there is a layer of warm air called a cap which suppresses storm developing, allowing only the strongest to grow As a result these storms don't have to compete with weaker ones that might otherwise rob them of some of the the warm, moist air that feeds them. The storms are stronger as a result and better able to produce tornadoes.

The worst tornado that is known to have been multiple vortex was the Tri-State tornado of March 18 1925. This was the worst tornado in U.S. history with a death toll of 695. At certain points along its path it was observed to have two or three funnels.

When a tornado has not touched the ground yet, it is called a funnel cloud. A funnel cloud is a rotating cone-shaped cloud descending from the base of a thunderstorm but not reaching the ground. Once it touches the ground, it is classified as a tornado.

Tornado sirens or alarms are designed so that they can be heard at least five miles away. Tornado sirens are placed in cities and towns and rural areas so that people can be warned well in advance of a tornado.

The wicked witch of the west was in the tornado.

Tornadoes do not directly affect fish since they occur over land and not water. However, if a tornado causes significant damage to the environment surrounding water bodies, it could indirectly impact fish by altering water quality or destroying their habitats.

Yes, tornadoes can occur on hot summer days when there is a clash of warm, moist air near the surface and cooler, drier air aloft, creating instability in the atmosphere. These conditions can lead to the formation of severe thunderstorms and potentially tornadoes.

In simple terms, the driving force behind wind is differences in pressure. The greater the pressure difference over a given distance, the faster the winds. The pressure inside a tornado is very low, and that change occurs over a very short distance, resulting in extremely fast winds.

There is none. All 50 states have had tornadoes. Even Alaska has had 4.

Structures can withstand tornadoes by being designed and built to resist high winds and impact from flying debris. Techniques for creating tornado-resistant structures include using reinforced connections, sturdy materials, and aerodynamic shapes. Building codes and standards also play a crucial role in ensuring that structures are designed to withstand the forces of tornadoes.

A multiple vortex tornado may appear to consist of several smaller tornadoes which usually don't last more than a few seconds each. However, often the suction vortices may be hidden withing the main funnel. See the links for videos of tornadoes with visible suction vortices.

The Kirksville, Missouri tornado of May 13, 2009 killed 2 people.

Yes, tornadoes are capable of ripping houses from their foundations and causing significant damage due to their strong winds and rotating vortex. The extent of the damage depends on the tornado's intensity, duration, and the construction of the house.

Fog is most common in the fall and winter months when temperatures are cooler and there is more moisture in the air. It often occurs in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are lowest.

Tornadoes are neither cyclones nor anticyclones. They are a type of severe weather phenomenon that consists of a rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. Cyclones and anticyclones refer to large-scale weather systems characterized by rotating areas of low and high pressure, respectively.

Mostly, the people who are scared of thunder and lightning is because of the voilent sound that the thunder makes as it gets louder and louder. Also, it can be the unexpected shaft of light comming from the lightning. The unexpected light from the lightning can make people jump.

If you are scared, do not worry--- you are not alone!

yes

In the case of a weak tornado a closed window can prevent damaging winds form entering the house. Though if a tornado is coming do not waste time with the windows. Take cover immediately.

There was a deadly F4 tornado that likely hit the Auburndale area on April 4, 1966.

Cats do not have the ability to predict natural disasters like tornadoes. However, animals may sense changes in the environment such as changes in air pressure or sounds associated with storms, which may trigger their natural instincts to seek shelter.
