Tornadoes

No California city was hit by a major tornado in 1906. The city of San Franciso was hit by a devastating earthquake in that year.

In the five year period of 2007-2011 tornadoes killed 826 people in the U.S. It should be noted that 552 of those deaths were in 2011, which is now tied with 1936 as the second deadliest tornado year in U.S. history..

The U.S. certainly records more tornadoes than any other place in the world and is also more prone to strong tornadoes. However, many countries do not keep records of the tornadoes that they get and so the majority of the world's tornadoes go undocumented. But until more complete documentation can be established the U.S. will hold its status as the most tornado prone country.

The known path length of the Goliad tornado was about 15 miles. The path may have been longer, though, as little is known about what the tornado did prior to hitting Goliad.

North and South Dakota, South-West Minnesota, Iowa, East Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, East Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Tornadoes are found in the Tornado Alley in the central United States often and typically happen in late spring through early summer.

You should try to salvage anything that is still able to be kept. If the flood is bad enough you should get a pump to get the water out. Try to fix any damage.

It is impossible to determine for certain.

The first official F5 tornado (with official records going back to 1950) hit Waco, Texas on May 11, 1953.

However, researchers have applied ratings to tornadoes farther back than that. Renowned tornado expert Thomas P. Grazulis gives his earliest F5 rating to a tornado that hit West Prairie, Illinois on April 24, 1880, making it the earliest listed F5 tornado in U.S. history. Grazulis believed that beyond 1880, data would be insufficient to apply an F5 rating

Despite this, researchers in Europe have applied an F5 rating to a tornado that struck Woldegk, Germany on June 29, 1764, though given the time passed since the event, the accuracy of this rating must be called into question.

Note that tornadoes have been occurring since before anyone could document them, with some no doubt reaching F5 intensity. Even where record are available, ratings are difficult to assign for older records. Additionally, F5 is the hardest rating to assign accurately, as distinguishing F4 and F5 damage generally requires knowing how sturdy a structure was after it has been completely destroyed.

Living in Tornado Alley can provide opportunities for community bonding and resilience-building in the face of natural disasters. Additionally, residents may develop a heightened awareness of safety measures and emergency preparedness. However, it's important to note that the risks associated with tornadoes, such as property damage and loss of life, can outweigh these benefits.

Meteorologists (weather scientists) study tornadoes and how to predict them, but there are no real efforts to try to prevent them. That is impossible.

After a bit of research I have found that F5 networks is a type of organization featured on the Fortune 100 Fastest Growing Company. I have not been able to find what the F5 stands for. Nobody seems to know, even with all the research I did on it.

Tornadoes in the UK are typically small and weak compared with the ones that frequent the United States. There are a few historical accounts of violent tornadoes but these are few and far between.

Too many places to count, that is certain. Every year over 1000 tornadoes touch down in the United States alone and hundreds more are recorded in other countries, while hundreds, perhaps thousands of others go undocumented. Overall tornadoes can occur just about anywhere in the world that gets thunderstorms from Alaska to Australia, and from Europe to South America. They have been observed on every continent except Antarctica.

The states in Tornado Alley are in a region where warm moist air from the Gulf og Mexico frequently collides with cooler drier air from Canada and the Rockies. These collisions produce stron thunderstorms that can, in turn, produce tornadoes.

In total the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado (it hit both cities) of April 27, 2011 killed a total of 64 people. Had it no been for the Hackleburg tornado of the same day, which killed 72 people, the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado would have been the deadliest to hi the U.S. since 1955.

The Xenia, Ohio tornado of 1974 was produced by a supercell thunderstorm that was part of one of the largest (until recently, the largest) single-day tornado outbreak on record. The outbreak as a whole was triggered when an intense low pressure system pulled very warm, moist air off the Gulf of Mexico and pushed a mass of cool, dry air into it. The result was a series of violent thunderstorms. Wind shear throughout the region set the thunderstorms rotating, allowing them to start producing tornadoes, including the one which struck Xenia.

That would probably be the city of Joplin, Missouri. On May 22, 2011 the city was struck by an EF5 tornado that caused about $2.8 billion in property damage, making it the most destructive tornado in U.S. history. With a death toll of 159 it was also one of the deadliest. Although there was some damage from this tornado outside of Joplin, it was minor by comparison.

Tornado Alley averages about 700 to 800 tornadoes per year.

There can be, in a way. Some tornadoes have subvortices within the main circulation. Usually these cannot be see, but in some cases, when there is just the right amount of moisture and not too much dust, these subvortices can appear as separate funnels. A tornado will usually not have more than two or three subvortices at a time, but some have been observed to have as many as eight funnels.

No hurricanes directly struck the U.S. directly in 2010, though Fayetteville probably felt some effects when Hurricane Earl dealt North Carolina a glancing blow. No tornadoes came anywhere near Fayetteville in 2010.

Every year about 300 recorded tornadoes hit Europe, There were some F5 in the past in Germany,France, Italy, Poland, Netherlands and Russia. The last possible F5 occured in 1984 in Russia, hitting the city of Ivanovo.

On average there are about 57 tornadoes a year

There were two weak tornadoes in the sate of Washington in 2010.

The United States experiences about 1200 tornadoes in an average year that cause a total of about $1 billion in damage. This works out to a mean of a little over $800,000 per tornado. Most likely the cost of a typical tornado is somewhat lower, though, as often a few especially destructive tornadoes make up a significant portion of the damage for a given year.
