Tornadoes

If you are stuck in a tornado, and you are outside, you want to lay down in a large ditch if you can find one. That's how you could survive outside of your house. If you are inside, go to your basement. If you don't have a basement go into the room on the lowest level of your house and stay away from all windows.

But to answer the question, the majority of people affected by a tornado survive.

Yes, a tornado is counted as a natural disaster.

Damage varies depending on the intensity.

Very weak tornadoes (rated EF0) cause minor damage, including missing shingles, downed gutters and broken tree limbs.

Stronger tornadoes (e.g. EF2) can tear roofs from most buildings, demolish trailers, and snap large trees.

The very strongest of tornadoes (rated EF5) can wipe well-built structures clean off their foundations, strip trees of their bark, and tear asphalt from roads.

-- Its various digits are all the same.

-- It's a multiple of 11.

-- It exists in a relatively narrow range of reality ... more than 32 but less than 34.

-- Its various digits are all more than 2 but less than 4.

-- Each if its various digits is a multiple of '3', and their sum is also a multiple of '3'.

This is truly a unique number! For each of these interesting facts, there is only an infinite number of
other numbers that share the same interesting fact.

Tornadoes are more common than people realise in Australia, but they are not on the scale as that seen in parts of the US. There is no restriction on where they occur, as they have been reported during storms in each of the states, from sub-tropical Queensland down to dry South Australia.

About 98% of tornadoes don't kill anyone. Of those that do kill, most kill only 1 or 2 people. The highest death toll on record from a tornado is approximately 1300 as a result of a tornado striking impoverished sections of two major cities in Bangladesh.

695 people were killed, 2027 people injured, 15,000 homes destroyed. A cost of 1.4 billion dollars in damage.

The number 1 state that tornadoes mostly occur in is Texas. second is Oklahoma and third is Kansas

Tornadoes, especially very strong ones, have been known to do incredible things such as spearing a hose through a tree trunk, embedding all four legs of a chair in a wall, and carrying buildings while leaving them intact.

Winds in one tornado were recorded at just over 300 mph (480 km/h).

Some tornadoes contain smaller suction vorticies, almost like mini tornadoes, that can have winds up to 100 mph (160 km/h) faster than he main vortex.

A tornado can do all sorts of damage...from just shattering the widows and ripping off the roof to completely distroying and area.And it also depends on how many tornados there are!!

I found a web site that stated in 1994 it cost the US 19.2 Billion. Using the CPI calculator converting the cost to 2010 it came out to be 28.3 Bil on average.

The longest damage path ever recorded was 219 miles.

The widest damage path ever recorded was 2.5 miles.

The best place to be during a tornado is in a basement or cellar.

No. Although tornadoes are not uncommon Michigan it is not considered part of tornado alley.

The tornado with the highest number of fatalities was the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado which hit Bangladesh on April 26, 1989. It is estimated to have killed 1300 and injured 12,000. In the U.S. since detailed records began in 1950 tornadoes have killed just over 5600 and injured over 88,000.

Usually not, it generally takes an F4 or F5 tornado to do that kind of damage and only about 1% of tornadoes are that strong.

Most tornadoes fall into the categories F0 and F1. These tornadoes can topple some trees, break windows, and strip roof surfaces.

Yes, League City, Texas has had tornadoes before.

There have been several dozen F5 tornadoes since record began in 1950. F5 the highest level on the Fujita scale which runs from F0 to F5 and rates tornadoes based on the severity of the damage they cause. A rating of F5 denotes an extremely violent tornado that rips houses clean of their foundations. F5 tornadoes are typically large and have been known to destroy entire towns. They are absolutely devastating. The majority of the most famous tornadoes were F5's, though a few F4 tornadoes have made it onto the list.

The most devastating thing a tornado can do is kill someone. Usually the damage that makes a difference is to buildings and to a small amount of crops. Trees can be uprooted and snapped, in some cases leaving destroying forested areas that can take decades to recover.

No such articles exist. Tornadoes do not last long enough for articles to be written about them as they occur.

All tornado watches in the United States are issued by the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma. Tornado warnings are issued by your local National Weather Service office. Hopefully, they are announced and broadcast by everyone with those capabilities.
