Tornadoes

Yes. Newport, Arkansas was hit by an F0 tornado in 1992 and an F1 tornado in 1999.

No. tornadoes cannot be prevented.

people will die if they touch the fire tornado. Alot of stuff will burn

i saw it recently in russia,you know how distructive tornado is,imagine a fire tornado,he burn one 100 fields in very little time.

Yes. High point was hit by an F1 tornado in 1957 and an EF3 tornado in 2010.

Most tornadoes in the U.S. and elsewhere in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise. However, on very rare occasions, clockwise tornadoes will occur.

Tornadoes can occur in Georgia in any month. But the month with the most tornado activity in Georgia is March.

If a tornado is coming go in a basement and stay away from any windows if possible if you don't have a basement go to your lowest floor. If you have a if you have a door under stares then go in it and lie down and put your hands on your head. If you are in a vehicle abandon it and lie in a ditch and put your hands on your head.

Under no circumstances should you outrun the tornado.

1. If you are outside when a tornado hits and you cannot get inside quick enough, then you should go into a ditch and curl up into a ball as tight as you can.

2. If you are inside when a tornado hits, go into a interior room like a bathroom or closet with no windows on the lowest floor in the house. Try and get under something like a table or blanket.

3. If you are at school during a tornado, they will probably already have a drill, but if not, get up against the wall in a hallway or classroom with no windows on the lowest floor and get into the turtle tuck. The turtle tuck is when you get down on your knees, lean over with your head facing your knees, and your hands over your head.

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground, often made visible by a funnel cloud.

The formation of tornadoes is complicated.

First, a condition called wind shear, in which the speed or direction of the wind changes with altitude. If the shear is strong enough it can essentially tilt a thunderstorm, this separates the updraft and downdraft of the thunderstorm, preventing them from interfering with one another. This allows the storm to become stronger and last longer.

Additionally, if the wind shear is strong enough it can start the air rolling in what is called horizontal vorticity. This horizontal vorticity can then be turned vertical by a thunderstorm's updraft. When this happens, the thunderstorm may start rotating. The rotation is especially strong in an updraft called a mesocyclone. If the storm intensifies rapidly enough, a relatively warm downdraft called a rear-flank downdraft or RFD can wrap around the bottom part of the mesocyclone. This can then tighten and intensify its rotation and bring it down to the ground to produce a tornado.

No. If conteinental tropical and continental polar air masses meet, they will form a front. Storm activity would be limited due to the relative lack of moisture. If a continental polar and maritime tropical air mass meet, then thunderstorms are possible. The collision of air masses does not directly result in the formation of tornadoes. Instead, the collisions result in thunderstorms which, if a few other conditions are right, may go on to produce tornadoes.

I would assume that when the tornado hits you are going to be in your car as per the category this was posted under. If you are in your car during a tornado, you should find a ditch and lay in in on your stomach away from your car. If you cannot find a ditch it is suggested to get out of your car and lay under the vehichle in such a manner that if the car would roll either direction the car would not roll on top of you and the car would protect you from debris that is carried by the strong winds.

F2 indicates a fairly strong tornado that will tear roofs from well-built houses, lift, small cars, demolish trailer homes, and snap large trees.

The worst type of damage a tornado can cause is EF5 damage.

An EF5 tornado completely annihilates even the strongest homes, wiping them clean off their foundations. The few trees that remain standing are stripped of their bark with only stubs of the largest branches remaining. Asphalt is torn from roads. Reinforced concrete structures are heavily damaged. Cars are thrown great distances and left as pieces of twisted metal.

there are no tornados in Turks and caicos

Hide in the basement if you have one. Other good locations are bathtubs or rooms in the middle of the house.

well...you should just pull up your pants and take cover. Would you rather die sitting on the pot or maybe stay alive by being in a closed place with no windows or glass doors. hope that helps. :)

I don't know of any tornado hitting Hollywood in the past but it is possible for Hollywood to get a tornado.

To really tear apart most houses a tornado usually has to be of at least EF3 intensity. The U.S. averages about 46 such tornadoes each year, which accounts for about 4% of all U.S. tornadoes.

Yes. Alabama is a tornado prone state and has a history of very violent tornadoes.

No, about 1% percent of tornadoes are rated as violent EF4 or EF5).

About 75-80% of tornadoes are rated as weak (EF0 or EF1).

Tornadoes don't eat because they aren't alive. However, any trees or man made structures in the path of a tornado may be damaged or destroyed.

Tornadoes are bad because they can damage or destroy property and kill and injure people.

In the latest five-year period (not counting 2011 as statistics are not finalized) the U.S. experienced 6329 tornadoes.

The safest place in a tornado is a basement or underground storm shelter.

If no underground shelter is available the best shelter is a central room away from windows on the lowest story of a house.

The safest place to be in your house during a tornado is in the basement.

Keep a battery operated weather radio around so that you may be alerted of tornadoes or other dangerous weather even if the power goes out, which is common in such situations. Have a plan on where to go after a tornado if your house is damaged or destroyed. It should be within walking distance as roads may be blocked by debris. If you live in a mobile home pick a sturdier building to go to as trailers to not provide much protection.

In the event that a tornado does threaten go to a basement or cellar and crouch down facing a wall. If you do not have a basement go to an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor. A bathroom and especially a bathtub often provide good shelter. Stay away from windows. Vehicles and mobile homes should be abandoned for more substantial shelter.
