Tornadoes

On average, tornadoes cause around 70-80 fatalities and 1,500 injuries each year in the United States. However, the number can vary widely depending on the intensity and frequency of tornadoes in a given year.

There were 324 tornadic fatalities in the U.S. in the outbreak at the end of April of 2011. These were the result of 33 killer tornadoes (out of a total of more than 350). The two deadliest tornadoes, The Hackleburg, and Tuscaloosa, Alabama tornadoes killed 72 and 64 people respectively.

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.

A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm cloud to the ground. It is often characterized by a funnel-shaped cloud and can cause significant damage to structures and vegetation due to its high winds. Tornadoes are most commonly seen in severe thunderstorms and are capable of reaching speeds exceeding 200 mph.

At least 134 people were killed by tornadoes in 2007, including 81 in the U.S.

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.

Well, What makes dryline storms so great is they are usually easily visible, rise quickly, and can provide a clear view of the tornado from beginning to end. If you have ever chased in dew points in the middle 70's with moisture streaming in continually, usually you can't see more than 1/4 a mile ahead of you. Trying to spot a storm in low visibility is often not worth the effort. You can be 1/2 mile away from a tornado and can't see it because the humid air 'cuts' your view. Where-as Dryline storms can pop up from clear blue skies at a rapid rate, and often leave you with a full 360 degree view while they build giving you a spectacular show.

With such storms is will impact either minimally or significantly habitats. It's well known how dangerous they are and they have killed many people. As far as landscape, flora and fauna - well that's easy. If the tornado can obliterate a home to its foundations and scour the bitumen of roads then the most likely scenario for woodland etc would be devastating - but within a confined track path as opposed to hurricanes.

But remember that a very large wedge EF5 tornado do destroy whole communities - so it depends on the size, rating and damage tornadoes cause and how far they track - and in fact if the same storm or other storms form tornadoes in the same location or continue into other counties.

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.

Texas annually has more tornadoes than any other state, followed by Oklahoma. However, the statistics are misleading, since Texas is much larger than its neighboring states.

Florida has the highest number of tornadoes per 10,000 square miles each year.

I am not to sure I don't think anyone would be because more people are killed everyday by humans in every different way! But this is how many people died this year and today:

The Great Plains region is home to various indigenous tribes who each have their own unique spiritual beliefs and practices. These can include a deep connection to the land, nature, and ancestral spirits, as well as rituals such as vision quests and sun dances. Traditional practices vary among tribes, but generally emphasize harmony with the natural world and the spiritual interconnectedness of all living beings.

Artifacts of the Great Plains can be found in archaeological sites, museums, and university collections throughout the region. Common artifacts include stone tools, pottery, and art pieces created by Indigenous peoples who have historically lived in the area. Some popular sites for viewing these artifacts include the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming.

there isn't actually a name for these people. They are referred to as "storm chasers" or just "chasers", but that is just a slang term for them. Meteorologists are scientists who study the weather, and tornadoes are included with the weather.

Egypt experiences very few tornadoes. The country has a hot and dry climate that is not typically conducive to tornado formation. Any tornadoes that do occur in Egypt are usually weak and short-lived.

Tornadoes bring out the best and worst in people. When everything is in shambles, you see peoples' true colors; and you discover who your friends really are...and aren't. It allows you to see the goodness that is still left in mankind; strangers that are willing and eager to help your family get back on their feet. It makes you realize that there really is still some good left in the world. In a world where it can seem that everyone and everything has gone bad, a natural disaster such as this brings a rush of support from all over the world, and you realize that the world is much more than what you see on the news. There is still beauty among us.

Apart from the above I think that Tornadoes can handle our ecosystem well and after a Tornado when everything is ruined. U use teamwork to sort out supplies!

Crime rates vary based on location, but many crimes tend to occur during evening and late-night hours, typically between 6 pm and 6 am. The exact timing can depend on factors such as the type of crime, the day of the week, and the unique characteristics of the neighborhood.

There is no specific month in which most bank robberies occur, as these crimes can happen throughout the year. Factors contributing to the timing of bank robberies can vary, such as holidays, economic conditions, or individual circumstances of the perpetrator.

Murders tend to occur more frequently during the warmer months, particularly in the summer. This is often attributed to increased social activity, higher temperatures leading to higher aggression, and longer daylight hours.

Tornadoes mostly occur in spring and early summer.
