Tornadoes

Extreme weathers could happen due to warming of earth s surface. This may be due to position of the earth in its orbit.when its near to sun s orbit,it receives much greater radiation and hence due to the absorption of large amounts of heat,surface gets heated up and temperature rises.

Apart from this, weather conditions get changed due global warming also. due to which,there will be at least 2 degrees rise in temperature.

The central region known as Tornado Alley experiences the most tornadoes in the United States. Tornado Alley includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and South Dakota, and it is characterized by frequent tornado activity due to the clash of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico with cool, dry air from the Rocky Mountains.

The Andover tornado in 1991 on April 26 resulted in one death and 40 injuries.

The answer could be many different ways. If you mean the inside, few survive to talk about it if they do end up flying through the air in a vortex. The few that do seldom remember the experience. Now if you're talking about the outside in the same neighborhood, it's pretty scary. In May 2003, Moore, Oklahoma I experienced a tornado. I heard loud noises and I was pretty scared. The wind ripped my room off, and I was really scared. Great force came down on me, and I thought I was going to die. The pressure inside my ears was unthinkable. I thought I was deaf. It was like one of those crazy moments when it's all loud, and all of a sudden it just went silent. So to sum it all up, a tornado feels scary, and it has great wind pressure. See the link below for audio that gives an idea of what such an experience is like.

If caught without shelter in an intense tornado, one would feel the terrific force of the winds and be unable to stand or even hold onto anything. Injuries or death would be caused by falling or being crushed against objects, or by impacts from other objects being hurled at great speeds. Tornado-force winds can drive blades of straw into telephone poles and wooden boards into concrete walls, so the human body would have little chance of survival.

A tornado is not a solid thing that you can touch, it is a vortex of very fast wind.

Here are the ratings on the Enhanced Fujita scale with estimated wind speeds and typical damage.

EF0: 65-85 mph. Shingles peeled from roofs. Damage to siding, gutters, and sign boards. Tree limbs broken. Some trees snapped or uprooted. Fences knocked down. Weak sheds and similar structures may be destroyed.

EF1: 86- 110 mph. Roofs of houses badly damage. Poorly secured roofs may be removed. Trailer homes overturned or badly damaged. Some barns and garages may collapse.

EF2: 111-135 mph. Roofs torn from well-built houses but most walls remain standing. Trailer homes and most barns completely destroyed. Large trees snapped. Cars tossed short distances.

EF3: 136-165 mph. Roofs and walls torn from well-built houses. Sometimes only a few interior walls are left. Weaker structures completely destroyed. Train cars lifted. Transmission towers crumpled.

EF4: 166-200 mph. Well-built houses completely leveled. Weaker houses blown away. Trees debarked. Asphalt may be peeled from roads.

EF5: Over 200 mph. Well-built houses completely blow away, leaving empty foundations. Reinforced concrete structures destroyed. Large objects tossed great distances. Severe ground scouring may occur.

They are very well practiced in how to stay safe in a tornado and known where to go when a tornado threatens.

Schools in such areas hold regular tornado drills, just like other schools hold fire drills.

The trade winds are the pattern of easterly surface winds found in the tropics near the equator. The trade winds blow predominantly from the northeast and from the southeast. The trade winds act as the steering flow for tropical storms that form over the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans that make landfall in North America, Southeast Asia, and India.

An EF-3 tornado can cause significant damage to a house, including tearing off roof materials and exterior walls. However, the complete destruction of a house would typically require a higher intensity tornado, such as an EF-4 or EF-5.

The strong winds in a tornado are causes by the steep pressure gradient surrounding it, with intense low pressure at the tornado's center. Strong winds in thunderstorms are usually caused by rain cooled air falling rapidly to ground level in an even called a downburst.

Yes. Several tornadoes have hit Detroit, Michigan. The strongest was an F3 on November 20, 1957.

There is not given size or path length of an F5.

Some are only a few hundred yards wide, others are over a mile. Some travel just a few miles, others have traveled over a hundred.

What defines an F5 tornado is how severe the damage is. If well built, strongly anchored houses are torn clean off their foundations the tornado is rated F5.

Yes, tornadoes can occur in North Carolina. The state is part of the region known as "Tornado Alley East," where there is a higher frequency of tornadoes compared to other parts of the U.S. Tornadoes in North Carolina are most common in the spring and early summer months.

Pennsylvania typically experiences an average of around 16 tornadoes per year. However, the number can vary significantly from year to year.

No, people cannot prevent tornadoes. Tornadoes are natural weather phenomena that form under specific atmospheric conditions and are beyond human control. However, people can take precautions to stay safe during tornadoes by having a plan in place and seeking shelter in designated areas.

Tornadoes have occurred in all 50 states of the United States. However, some states are more prone to tornadoes than others, with the central plains states known as "Tornado Alley" experiencing the highest frequency.

The strong winds in a tornado are responsible for causing most injuries and damage. The winds can reach extremely high speeds, causing buildings to collapse, debris to become projectiles, and people to be thrown or trapped.

Some tornadoes, some of them deadly, have hit without warning.

On many occasions, however, tornadoes have been preceded by excellent warnings that in some cases may have saved hundreds of lives.

SIMPLE ANSWER: Picture a bowl of pancake batter. Insert a spoon and stir. If you want to perform your own experiment, add in a few drops of food coloring for visualization. MORE: The cause of the "Wind force" in a hurricane is created by several combined factors, dominated by the differential between the motion of the earth's surface as it rotates against the static property of space, causing drag. (Put your hand out of the window of your car on the freeway to experience Drag force). The volume of water vapor trapped in the atmosphere as well as other atmospheric gasses combine and expand (Thickening like Pancake batter), due to solar heating. Additionally, the heating and cooling of the atmosphere causes air to rise and fall. A rotational dynamic is then created in the atmosphere (think of the earth as the spoon). Atmosphere (air) is then pushed by these forces, causing rotational turbulence, which often contacts the ground surface, resulting in hurricanes and tornados. The prediction of outcome is impossible to know, outside of established and documented weather patterns. Think of yourself as a bug in a blender.

As of February 8, 2012 the last tornado to hit Georgia was on December 22, 2011.

You can warn people about tornadoes by posting a weather warning on tv or radio.

I agree with that, but, not all people have radio, or television. Just to be safe, make sure your neighbors are aware of warnings, and help them to safety.

No. Hurricanes are far bigger than tornadoes. The average tornado is 50 yards wide, with the smallest tornado on recorded being only 3 feet wide and the largest ever recorded at 2.6 miles.

Hurricanes are 300 miles wide on average, the smallest ever recorded was about 60 miles wide and the largest over 1,300 miles.

Indiana typically experiences an average of about 25 tornadoes per year. However, the actual number can vary significantly from year to year.

A tornado can change the Earth's surface by uprooting trees, demolishing buildings, and leaving behind debris and destruction in its path. The strong winds and intense force of a tornado can also reshape landscapes by creating new landforms or altering the terrain.
