Tornadoes

If a tornado threatens go to you basement or the center part of you house away from windows. Thunderstorms usually pose a less serious threat, though it is still a good idea to avoid windows. In a hurricane you should stay away from windows and be prepared to move to a higher floor. The number 1 killer in a hurricane is flooding.

Electronic logic uses just two states, high and low voltage, or "1" and "0". The output of a gate will always be at one value or the other. This is convenient when only a single output is used to drive a signal. In some cases, it is useful to have two or more outputs driving the same signal line. However, if two outputs are linked together, if they have different outputs, there is likely to be damage to the outputs and the level on the line will be un-predictable.

A tri-state output has the same high and low levels as standard logic outputs but it has a third state, namely high impedance. A high impedance state means that the output is not transferred to the line so effectively, the output is simply turned off. Another logic gate can now drive the line and the level is entirely predictable. Numerous outputs can now drive a single line as long as only on is turned on at any time.

In a strong enough tornado the winds are spinning so fast that they cannot reach the center, otherwise they would get flung out. Instead air sinks in the center in a comparatively gentle fashion.

Florida and Kansas.

Yes. If a tornado is rain wrapped rain can be drawn into the circulation.

A funnel cloud is a funnel, cone, or trunk shaped cloud that extends downward from the cloud base and rotates. If dust or debris can be seen swirling beneath it, that means a tornado is con the ground. Below are pictures of some funnel clouds.

No earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis are in terms of what has happened in recorded history.

Tornadoes are can be extremely destructive on a localized scale, but compared with other disasters the area affected by a tornado is very small.

The funnel of a tornado always connects to cloud base and typically all the way to the ground (the circulation of a tornado can reach the ground even if the funnel does not). Cloud base height is variable but in a tornado supercell is usually about 3000 feet to a mile above the ground. The circulation of the tornado usually goes a great distance above cloud base and can reach heights of more than 4 miles.

After the first national system of weather radars was implemented in the U.S. tornadoes claimed an average of 82 American lives per year. After the upgrade to Doppler radar in 1991 that average holds at 80. However, this data is skewed by the extremely deadly 2011 tornado season which claimed 553 lives. If we exclude that outlier, the average is lowered to 57 deaths per year.

well if you are at your house you should go to your basement or your closet

if you are outside try to get under in the safe shelter

if you at a camp then go on the top hills and have a emergency kit

During the spring the lower atmosphere warms up faster than the upper atmosphere, and a warm lower atmosphere under a cold upper atmosphere is unstable as warm air is less dense and will tend to rise. Also during this time of year, even though the weather is warming up blasts of cold air regularly come through the U.S. These cold fronts combined with the unstable atmosphere can trigger strong thunderstorms. At the same time the jet stream, which remains strong at this time of year, provides plenty of wind shear to set these thunderstorms rotating. This rotation allows the storms to produce tornadoes.

Take cover immediately. Go to a basement or cellar. If you do not have one go to a room in the center part of your house or a bathroom on the lowest floor. Stay away from windows.

Yes. The most recent tornado to hit Tucson was an F0 on March 7, 1994.

Not in the sense that hurricanes are. Instead they are simply referred to by the places they hit, for example the Joplin, Missouri tornado or the Andover, Kansas tornado.

Tornadoes can occur in Tornado Alley at any time but are most common in the spring and during the late afternoon or early evening.

There were 101 tornadoes in Tennessee in 2011 and so far at least 22 in 2012.

A tornado usually forms from a mesocyclone, which occurs in the updraft or rear portion of some thunderstorms.

Given the date, this question is most likely referring to the tornadoes that occurred in the Dallas-Forth Worth area on April 3, 2012. There were no deaths from those tornadoes.

May is the most likely.

75 percent of recorded tornadoes occur in the U.S. However, this is misleading as unlike the U.S. many countries do not keep records, resulting in tornado numbers outside the U.S. that are unrealistically low.

first, go to a basement. if you don't have one, get a mattress

and put it over a bath tub. put a blanket. and stay away from windows. or go to a public shelter. good luck!

There were 85 tornadoes confirmed on April 14, 2012.

As of October 28, 2013, Dallas was last impacted by tornadoes on April 3, 2012.

The highest number of tornadoes Alabama has recorded in one years was 145. This record was set in 2011.
