Tornadoes

If you don't like the "drop" feeling getting "air" time then don't ride it, but if you like that feeling then it'll be fun for you. The ride is more intense than what it looks

Whether a tornado will hit a given location on a given day is impossible to predict. On average the lead warning time before a tornado hits is about 15 minutes. That said, there is virtually no risk of severe weather in Boston for June 23, 2012 so the chances of Boston being hit are negligible.

Since detailed record keeping began in 1950 there have been 156 recorded tornadoes in Massachusetts of which only 2 or 3 have hit the outskirts of Boston. None have hit the inner part of the city.

F0 tornadoes cause relatively light damage as far as tornadoes go. Typical F0 damage includes peeled shingles ans siding, downed gutters and awnings, broken tree limbs, and perhaps some uprooted trees.

In a hallway the there is no large span of ceiling that is not supported by a way and because of this the ceiling is less likely to collapse. Additionally, many hallways are windowless, and broken glass from windows and be a major hazard during a tornado.

An F5 tornado can have a path length ranging anywhere from less than 10 miles to over 200 miles. Most fall into the range of 20 to 50 miles.

Go lie in a ditch or depression in the ground. If none is available lie flat.

Yes. Most tornadoes develop from the mesocyclone of a supercell.

No. Tornadoes can happen almost anywhere. However, the are more common in certain countries such as the United States and Bangladesh

The average tornado lasts for 5 to 10 minutes.

Nearly all tornadoes occur during an especially powerful type of thunderstorm called a supercell.

That is difficult to determine. Six tornadoes have been recorded in Sacramento since records began in 1950, but all but one of those occurred after the year 2000 and 2 were on the same day and were probably from the same storm system. This gives us a figure of a tornado hitting about once every three years, though it is quite possible that the past few years were a fluke.

Well, spinning the bottle in a circular motion creates a water vortex that looks like a mini tornado. The water is rapidly spinning around the center of the vortex due to centripetal force (an inward force directing an object or fluid such as water towards the center of its circular path). Vortexes found in nature include tornadoes, hurricanes and waterspouts (a tornado that forms over water).

It is estimated that England averages about 70 tornadoes per year.

Michigan averages between 15 and 16 tornadoes per year.

There is no way of knowing when the next tornado will be in any given place.

A tornado usually follows a relatively straight path, though some tornadoes may shift a bit along this. Occasionally tornadoes may follow a curved path or, rarely, a meandering, looping path. Most tornado paths are a fraction of a mile to three miles long and a few dozen yards wide, however in some cases paths may be dozens of miles long and over a mile, or even two miles wide. Within the path structures and vegetation will sustain varying degrees of damage depending on the intensity of the tornado and what part ot he tornado passes over a particular point. Damage may range from broken tree limbs and peeled roof tiles to complete destruction of strong buildings. In some cases looping or curved paths of more severe damage may be noted within the main damage path indicating the passage of suction vortices withing the main circulation.

It varies widley. An F2 tornado can lasy anywhere from less than a minute to over an hour. Most will last about 15 to 20 minutes.

If you mean Forks, Washington, then unfortunately that information is not available. Since official record keeping began not a single tornado has been recorded in Clallam County (the county where Forks is). Before accounts of tornadoes are hit-or miss.

Given the apparent lack of tornadoes and the fact that tornadoes are rare in the state of Washington it is entirely possible that Forks has never had a tornado since it was first built.

Tornadoes do not have names. There don't appear to be any "super tornadoes" that have hit Dallas either. The city has had a few F3 tornadoes and one F4 passed to the city's southwest.

There was a documentary about a so-called "super tornado" hitting Dallas, but that was a purely hypothetical situation and one that is unlikely to happen.

If such an event were to occur, in all likelihood it would simply be called the Dallas tornado of whatever year it occurs in.

Tornadoes can destroy animal habitats and killer or injure people and animals. People can lose their homes, workplaces, and other property.

The updraft of a tornado may help somewhat in stabilizing the atmopshere, but the parent thunderstorm normally would do that anyway.

It is impossible to predict what counties will and won't have tornadoes at any given time. Tornadoes are very difficult to predict.
