Tornadoes

EVERYTHING!

If you mean Hardtner, there are no records of any killer tornadoes in that area.

Fire tornadoes, or more properly firewhirls are most common in dry areas prone to large and intense fires. This is because it usually takes a very intense fir to produce a firewhirl

You should have a battery operated weather radio and first aid kit ready. This is a good idea for emergency preparedness in general.

You should also pick a spot to go to ahead of time. Ideally you should go to a basement or cellar, preferably in a corner.

If you do not have a basement then choose a spot on the lowest floor of the house. A room, closet, or hallway at the center part of the house is best. A bathroom also provides good shelter. It is also advisable to have something to cover yourself to protect against debris. Essentially you want to put as much between you and the tornado as possible.

If you live in a a mobile home, you should choose another, sturdier structure for your shelter. Some trailer parks have underground storm shelters.

The most devastating tornadoes are usually the ones rated F5 or EF5. Tornadoes of this intensity have been known to obliterate entire neighborhoods and kill dozens. Examples of especially devastating tornadoes of such intensity include the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of 1999 which killed 36; the Hackleburg, Alabama of 2011 which killed 72; and the Joplin, Missouri tornado of 2011 which killed 158. Occasionally an F4 or EF4 tornado makes it onto the list as well, such as the Wichita Falls, Texas tornado of 1979 which killed 42, and the Tuscaloosa, Alabama tornado of 2011, which killed 64.

Presumably you are referring to the EF4 tornado that hit Tuscaloosa, Alabama on April 27, 2011.

The tornado first touched down over open country about 3 miles north of Union, Alabama in Greene County and traveled northeast. It then entered Tuscaloosa county at EF2 intensity and continued to intensify. The tornado then entered the southwestern part city of Tuscaloosa at EF4 intensity. In continued across the community, passing south of the city center, devastating entire neighborhoods, with some damage rating at the upper end of EF4. The tornado then passed out of eastern Tuscaloosa, striking the southern part of the Suburb of Holt before weakening. From here the tornado continued traveling northeast, causing damage to trees and farmhouses. It then re-intensified to an EF4 as it struck Concord, a suburb of Birmingham. It then devastated the suburb of Pleasant Grove, staying north of Birmingham proper. Afterwards the tornado weakened to EF2 strength and struck the communities of McDonald Chapel, North Pratt, Hooper City, and Fultondale before finally dissipating west of Center Point, northeast of Birmingham.

Overall this tornado carved a damage path 80 miles long and 1.5 miles wide. It killed 64 people and injured over 1500, making the second deadliest tornado in Alabama history, surpassed only by the Hackleburg tornado which killed 72 people on the same day. Damage totals are estimated at $2.2 billion, making it the second costliest tornado in U.S. history, exceeded only by the tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri less than a month later.

Tornadoes hit most common in the Central United States, in a region known as tornado alley.

Yes, Tornadoes kill dozens of people every year. In the U.S. alone tornadoes killed 553 people in 2011 (making it the 2nd deadliest year on record for the U.S.), and 70 in 2012.

Elsewhere in the world tornadoes killed about 2 dozen people in the same time period.

You are most Likely referring to the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado of April 26. That tornado is estimated to have killed 1300 people, making it the deadliest in world history.

Usually not for the people who experience them. Tornadoes are usually very scary when they hit.

Currently, as of August 2013, the current events going on in the enviorment are the abnormal weather events going on in many parts of the United States. There have been several heat waves that have claimed lives and powerful storms with tornadoes.

F1 tornadoes rarely kill, and when they do the death toll is rarely higher than 1 or 2.

However, the deadliest F1 tornado to occur in the U.S. since records keeping began in 1950 killed 16 people. The deaths occurred when the tornado capsized a boat on Pomona Lake in Kansas.

A similar, but far deadlier case occurred in China in 2015 when an EF1 tornado capsized a cruise ship on the Yangtze river, killing 442 people.

The highest death toll from a single tornado was 1300 in the Daulatpur-Saturia, Bangladesh tornado of April 26, 1989. The highest death toll from a U.S. tornado was 695 in the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925.

Based on records going back to 1875, tornadoes in the U.S. have killed more than 19,000 people in total.

None. All 50 states in the U.S. have recorded tornadoes. Alaska has had the least activity, however, with only 3 F0 tornadoes occurring there since record keeping began in 1950.

There were 102 confirmed tornadoes in Tennessee in 2011.

It was on the ground for about 30 minutes.

Warning signs of a potential tornado include rotation in the clouds, a lowering of the cloud base, a funnel or cone shape hanging from the clouds, and swirling debris near the ground. If you are looking at the radar image a hook shape, usually in the southwestern portion of the storm, means that the storm may produce a tornado or may have already done so. If you look at a storm relative velocity image and bright green and red colors are right next to each other in a small area it means that there is strong rotation the may produce a tornado.

Last year in 2011, there were over 1800 tornado reports (of which about 1700 were confirmed), but the number of tornado warnings was higher as not all warnings correspond to a formal report. So the number of warnings issued in 2011 was likely well over 2000. However, 2011 was an extremely active tornado season. An average tornado season sees about 1200 tornadoes in the U.S., which would likely work out to about 1800-2000 warnings.

Most tornadoes in the UK occur in England, particularly in the Midlands and East Anglia regions. These tornadoes are usually weak and short-lived compared to the more intense tornadoes that can occur in other parts of the world.

Go into a secure basement, tape your windows, stay on the first floor and have an evacuation plan and canned food and water and a portable raido with battery backup and flashlights down in the basement and a duffel bag of family medicines and bottled water too, try to work out an evacuation plan for when the tornado , passes, as well

By far the worst tornado to hit the U.S. in 2011 was the Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22. This tornado was rated EF5, the highest level of tornado intensity. 30% of the city of Joplin was destroyed. In total the tornado killed 158 people (in addition to several indirect deaths), injured over 1,100 , caused $2.8 billion in damage, and destroyed nearly 7,000 homes. This makes it the costliest and 7th deadliest tornado in U.S. history.

They should always be aware of the threat of a tornado and always be prepared to enter a shelter. They should always keep the storm shelter updated with food, water, and clothes, and medicine just in case they have some injuries. Make for sure that the shelter has been updated with repairs from the last tonado.

different temp air mixing and spining

Very likely.

Tornado Alley typically gets about 800 tornadoes in a year.
