How wide were the paths for the palm Sunday tornado?

The path widths of the tornadoes of the 1965 Palm Sunday outbreak varied considerably. The smallest of the tornadoes in the outbreak were as small as 30 feet wide, while at least one tornado from the event was a mile wide.

Why aren't people evacuated in a tornado warning?

There isn't enough time to evacuate a populated area. The average lead time for a tornado warning is 14 minutes, and and evacuation takes hours and even days. People attempting to flee would be caught in a traffic jam, and a car is one of the worst places to be in a tornado. Such as case happened in Wichita Falls Texas in 1979. Of the 42 people killed by the tornado 25 died in their cars. It is much safer to be inside a sturdy building.

Not on foot. It is technically possible in most vehicles, but it is better to take shelter than to try to outrun the tornado, as they are often accompanied by wet roads and other driving hazards.

Why do tornadoes have so much energy and where does the energy come from?

A tornado gets it energy from its parent thunderstorm. The storm gets its energy from instability in the air, often resulting from a collision of warm moist air with cool and/or dry air. The warm moist air is the actual energy source. The water vapor in it holds a surprising amount of energy.

The majority of tornadoes form from supercells, the most powerful type of thunderstorms on earth. Structural differences between supercells and ordinary thunderstorms allow them to release energy more efficiently. The strongest part of a supercell is the mesocyclone or rotating updraft. This is powered by the buoyancy of warm, moist air that in some cases can rise at over 100 mph. A tornado forms when the rotation of a mesocyclone becomes more focused. So essentially the kinetic energy from a vortex several miles across becomes focused in an area just a few hundred feet across.

What is in a tornado?

A tornado is made up of violently rotating air. It often contains moisture that has condensed as well as dust and sometimes debris that the tornado has picked up.

Many plants and animals live where tornadoes come, because tornadoes occur all throughout the world. In the U.S., tornadoes most frequently hit tornado alley, a strip that covers many U.S. states, including Oklahoma, Kansas and northern Texas. Animals that live in these areas range from pets, like dogs and cats, to animals produced for food and manufacturing, like cows. Plant life in these areas is also wide-ranging, encompassing multiple varieties of trees, flowers, shrubs, vines and important cash crops, like wheat and corn.

A tornado warning means that a tornado has been spotted on ground or on radar?

Much of the time, yes. However if radar detects strong enough rotation in a storm, indicating a tornado is likely to form soon, that may also prompt a tornado warning.
