Tornadoes

Yes. A violent enough tornado can completely remove vegetation from an area, especially trees. Such destruction leads to secondary succession.

Spring and summer.

To get ready for a hurricane, people should be ready to get by without two weeks of food or water. They will not be able to flush the toilet. They should fill the tub with water and have a bucket so they can fill a bucket and flush it by hand. They should have flashlights all around. they should have a lot of food around they can eat without cooking it. Have bottled water to drink. It will be warm. It will basically be the same thing as camping out for two weeks only it will be inside your house or apartment. If you live in a large city, your water may not go out, but be prepared in case it does.

If you live in a detached house, be prepared to clean up your lawn. If you have a chain saw, make sure it works before the storm comes. Electrical equipment probably will not work.

Yes. The Great Plains in the United States form the most tornado-prone region in the world.

Yes. Las Vegas has had a few weak tornadoes that caused minor to moderate damage.

Many cheerleaders use batons. Batons are spun around and between their fingers and tossed in the air in what people call a twirl like manor.

There are about 33 a year on average. 2011 has been abnormally active.

Tornadoes come in many different sizes of funnels. Some funnels can be only a few feet wide and some could span a few miles wide.

Yes. Lubbock was famously struck by an F5 tornado on May 11, 1970. Other, less significant tornadoes have hit the Lubbock area as well.

A tornado on Jupiter is a massive spinning storm system that appears as a dark, swirling cloud in the planet's atmosphere. These tornadoes can be many times larger and more powerful than tornadoes on Earth, with wind speeds reaching hundreds of miles per hour. They are a common feature in Jupiter's turbulent atmosphere.

Yes. On October 6, 1981 NLM CityHopper Flight 431 flew into a tornado 8 minutes after takeoff from Rotterdam Airport in the Netherlands. The plane lost its right wing and crashed, killing all 17 people onboard.

Yes. Hurricanes produce torrentail rain, and thunderstorms will usually produce rain and sometimes hail. Since tornadoes are a product of strong thunderstorms, they will usually be accompanied by rain and are often accompanied by hail.

No. For one thing, while there is a great deal of subjectivity, it is based on objective parameters such as wind shear, helicity, and instability. Second, it does provide a good general idea of the magnitude of the risk and which areas are at the greatest risk. The issuing of a high-risk outlook prior to the tornado outbreak of April 14, 2012 probably saved lives.

tornado alley is where most tornadoes are located.

• The Oklahoma City tornado of May 3, 1999 was an F5, the highest rating on the Fujita scale.
• It was the last tornado in the U.S. to be rated F5 before the Enhanced Fujita scale was put in place in 2007.
• The tornado produced winds of up to 302 mph, the fastest winds ever measured on Earth.
• It traveled 37 miles and was, at times, a mile wide.
• In all, it killed 36 people and injured 583, making it the deadliest tornado in the U.S. since the Wichita Falls tornado of 1979.
• Damage from the tornado totaled $1 billion, making it the costliest tornado in U.S. history at the time, even after inflation. It now holds fourth places following tornadoes in 2011 and 2013.
• Some of the worst damage was in the suburb of Moore, which was also affected by major tornadoes in 1973, 2003, 2010, 2011, and 2013.

The largest tornado on record was the Hallam, Nebraska tornado of May 22, 2004 at 2.5 miles wide.

The tornado with the fastest measured winds was the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999 with winds of 302 mph. However since most tornadoes do not have their winds measured it is very likely that some other tornadoes had faster winds.

The tornado with the fastest forward speed was the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925. At times it traveled at 73 mph.

Tornadoes are relatively rare in eastern Asia compared to regions like the United States. However, they do occur, particularly in countries such as Japan and China, with a frequency that varies by season and geography. Most tornadoes in this region are weaker and less destructive than those in Tornado Alley. Overall, while tornadoes are not a common phenomenon in eastern Asia, they can still pose a risk during certain weather conditions.

If you are caught outdoors during a tornado, seek shelter immediately in a sturdy building if possible. If no shelter is available, lie flat in a low-lying area such as a ditch, covering your head and neck to protect against flying debris. Avoid seeking shelter under bridges or overpasses, as these can create dangerous wind tunnels. Stay aware of your surroundings and wait for the storm to pass before emerging.

"Storm Chasers" season 2010 premiered on October 13, 2010. It featured a team of storm chasers documenting severe weather events across the United States.

They have both positive and negative aspects. They can destroy trees and animals habitats, but they can also clear out old vegetation to give room for new growth.

F1 tornadoes can kill, but they rarely do. So an F1 tornado is unlikely to kill you, but you should still take safety precautions to reduce your risk, especially since you can't tell how strong a tornado is before it hits.

Yes,a tornado has air inside even though the pressure is lower.
