Tornadoes

No. Most tornadoes could not pick up a typical car. However, a fair portion still can.

Altostratus clouds are mid-level clouds that appear as a gray or blue-gray sheet covering the sky. They often indicate the approach of a warm front and can lead to overcast conditions with light precipitation. Altostratus clouds can block out the sun, resulting in diffuse light.

Tornadoes do not have a set rotation speed, but they can rotate rapidly, often at speeds of 100-300 mph. A tornado's rotation can change direction rapidly as well, making it difficult to determine an exact number of spins in one second.

Tornadoes produce extremely powerful winds which carry a great deal of force. In some cases this is too much force for a houses to withstand, and the connections holding the different parts of the house together fail.

The Fujita scale is the most famous and most widely used scale for rating tornadoes. It rates tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on severity of damage. It has been replaced by the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF0 to EF5) in the U.S.

The largest tornado was the 2.6 mile wide monster that struck near El Reno, Oklahoma on May 31, 2013.

In a tornado, the main form of energy is kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion of the swirling air. Additionally, there is potential energy in the form of the storm's convective updrafts and downdrafts, as well as thermal energy created by the temperature difference between the warm air at the surface and the cold air aloft.

A tornado with 120 mph winds would typically fall into the EF2 category on the Enhanced Fujita scale. EF2 tornadoes have wind speeds ranging from 111 to 135 mph and can cause considerable damage to buildings and vegetation.

The damage is surveyed and where damage boundaries are is noted. This is the used to show how wide the tornado is.

Note that the size is not a factor in how the tornado is rated but how intense the damage is.

Twisters and tornadoes are different terms used to describe the same weather phenomenon: a rotating column of air in contact with the ground. There is no difference in strength or power between these two terms.

There is nothing particularly special about the chemical composition of a tornado. It is essentially just made of air, which is mostly made of nitrogen and oxygen with smaller amounts of water vapor (some of which may condense inside the tornado), argon, carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gasses.

Winds in tornadoes can vary widely, but they can reach speeds of up to 300 mph (480 km/h) in the most severe tornadoes. The Enhanced Fujita Scale categorizes tornadoes by wind speed and resulting damage.

Dust devils are generally not strong enough to cause serious harm or death to humans. They are typically small in size and do not have the destructive power of tornadoes or hurricanes. However, like any weather phenomenon, it is always important to use caution and avoid getting too close to a dust devil to prevent potential injuries.

No, not from hot air alone. Tornadoes need thunderstorms to form. Warm, moist air is what fuels a thunderstorm, but the storms also need a cool enough upper atmosphere to make the air unstable. There also needs to be a lifting mechanism. While this can be caused by local factors, the thunderstorms most likely to spawn tornadoes usually need something more organized such as a cold front or dry line. Additionally, these storms need strong lower-level wind shear to induce rotation.

Doppler radar primarily. Velocity radar imagery estimates how fast the winds are moving either to or from the radar site. Meteorologists can estimate using mathematic formulas what the surface winds are. Tornadic signatures show up as two opposing colors next to each other.

After the tornado has been confirmed, the Naitonal Weather Services sends a research team to the area to examine structural damage and then get a better idea along with any recorded weather measurements of how strong the tornado was.

There are two well-known Fetts in the "Star Wars" universe: Jango Fett and his cloned son, Boba Fett. Both characters are skilled bounty hunters known for their association with the Mandalorian culture and their iconic armor.

No, tornadoes do not suck things in. They are powerful rotating columns of air that destroy objects in their path through a combination of strong winds and flying debris. The pressure difference created by the tornado can cause objects to be sucked into the vortex, but the tornado itself does not actively "suck" things in.

You probably couldn't shoot a bullet through a tornado, mostly because of the massive wind speeds that will turn the bullet off-course, and the fact that there is so much stuff flying through the air, that the bullet will hit something and stop.

Tornadoes can lift objects off the ground by creating intense low pressure inside the funnel, which generates strong upward wind currents. These powerful winds can easily pick up and transport debris, dust, and even larger objects, causing destruction along their path.

Before a tornado hits the ground, a rotating column of air forms in the storm cloud known as a funnel cloud. This funnel cloud extends towards the ground, and once it makes contact, the tornado is then officially considered to have touched down.

The Fujita Scale (replaced by the Enhanced Fujita Scale in 2007) is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on damage.

It gets its name from its creator, Dr. Tetsuya Fujita.

Tornadoes are violent, rotating windstorms that connect to the base of a thunderstorm and to the ground. They are often made visible by a condensation funnel and debris cloud. Tornadoes can be very destructive. In extreme cases winds may exceed 300 mph (480 km/h). While they are more violent than other types of storm, tornadoes are also usually smaller and shorter-lived.

A pressure deficit of 100 mb (hPa) was observed when a violent tornado near Manchester, South Dakota on June 24, 2003 passed directly over an in-situ probe. In less than a minute the pressure dropped to 850 mb (hPa), which is the lowest pressure ever recorded at the Earth's surface when adjusted to sea level.[11] There is a questionable and unofficial citizen's barometer measurement of a 192 mb (hPa) drop around Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1904.[12] From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_records

Hope that answers your question..

The most important force operating in a tornado is the strong updraft of air that can reach incredibly high speeds, causing rotation and lifting debris into the air. This updraft is responsible for creating and maintaining the funnel-shaped cloud and the intense winds associated with tornadoes.

Most tornadoes can't but one EF3 or stronger can.
