Tornadoes

No. It is not safe to be outdoors in a tornado, and outdoor elevators are often made largely of glass, which is dangerous to be near during a tornado.

Tornadoes appear to be most common in the eastern and central portions of North Carolina.

No, tornadoes can occur in many parts of the world where there are the right atmospheric conditions. However, the frequency and intensity of tornadoes are highest in North America, particularly in the central United States.

The seismic waves of an earthquake travel faster than the winds of a tornado. But this is not what makes earthquakes destructive.

Hurricanes weaken when they move over land.

There is no such thing as "earthquake weather." Tornadoes and hurricanes are both violent storms and therefore forms of extreme weather. Earthquakes are geologic events and are not weather-related.

The costliest single tornado in U.S. history is the Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011. The tornado, rated EF5, caused $2.8 billion in damage and killed 158 people.

There is only one legal way to get the password and that is to buy it from http://www.diyden.net Don has spent a lot of time and effort to create a great set of plans and it is only fair that he should receive the credit for it. Play fair and life will treat you fair.

Storms of all kinds are generally associated with low pressure.

About 1,000 on average.

It means that some thunderstorms are expected to produce winds capable of producing damage and hail greater than 2" in diameter. A few of the storms may be capable of producing tornadoes.

A tornado watch is issued by the Storm Prediction Center when general weather conditions are favorable for the formation of tornadoes. A watch is not issued for a particular location, but rather covers a large portion of one or more states. A tornado watch only indicates a general threat across a region and not an imminent threat.

A tornado warning is issued by a local office of the National Weather Service if a tornado has been spotted or detected or if a thunderstorm has rotation that has a high chance of producing a tornado in the immediate future. A tornado warning usually covers portions of one or two counties based on the location, speed, and direction of the threatening storm.

In Spanish, the word for tornado is "tornado". Same as in English, but pronounced a little differently (torr-nawh-do instead of the English way torr-nay-do).

As for earthquake, the spanish word for it is "terremoto".

Tornado season in Indiana typically occurs from April to June, with May historically having the highest frequency of tornadoes. However, tornadoes can occur at any time of the year in Indiana. It is important for residents to stay informed about severe weather and have a plan in place in case of a tornado.

Yes. There was at least one weak tornado in Houston in 2000.

Entirely in updrafts. Tornadoes form in the updraft portion of a thunderstorm.

The largest tornado in Oklahoma (and in fact the largest tornado ever recorded), was the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013. It was 2.6 miles wide.

Traditionally, the term risk recreation has been applied to activities like rock climbing, mountain biking, and river rafting. Storm chasing requires participants to locate and "chase" a tornado-producing super-cell thunderstorm. Although this is an extremely risky activity, amateur storm chasers are willing to pay up to $300 a day for the chance to see one of Mother Nature's most destructive forces. Tornadoes are aggressive wind twisters. One consists of a column of spinning air sometimes connecting a cloud base to the surface of the earth. You can recognize some easily, but not all, as they come in a wide range of shapes: we have:

the classic funnel,

the half funnel,

dissipating tornados,

some with suction spots (not exactly a pleasant surprise),

a discontinuous tornado,

the wedge tornado and

other, more rare, types.

You could even see various colors and sizes.

They're all violent manifestations of nature and the weather, which must be taken in consideration before deciding to act. Traffic difficulties and weather problems. As tornadoes are often accompanied by heavy rains, we can encounter hydroplaning from wet conditions on highways. Most tornado chasers carry on their pursuit in their vehicles and appropriate precautions are advised when driving in severe thunderstorms.

Additionally, the weather hazards and the chaos caused by the storm itself can be a problem when chasing a tornado. These result from high winds, reduced visibilty and flying debris and other stuff in the air.

In order to avoid these risks, you shouldn't get too close to the vortex. Instead, opt for observing it from a safe distance, at least 1 km from the funnel.

Even more, since unexpected weather might occur, it is better not to stay under or near trees, next to windows, and other vulnerable spots such as hilltops and open fields. You normally have lightning to worry about near these storms and these measures should reduce the associated risks.

No. Both tornadoes and hurricanes are associated with warm weather.

Yes, tornadoes are not uncommon in Indiana and no town has any sort of "special protection" from them.

yes. in the western united states yes. in the western united states

A tornado threat is not a formal term in meteorology. It merely refers to the potential danger an area might face from tornadoes and the magnitude of that danger.

A thunderstorm is any rainstorm that produces thunder and lightning. Thunderstorms develop from rising masses of warm, moist air, which form tall cumulonimbus clouds. Most thunderstorms are not severe. Dangers possible during thunderstorms include lightning, flash flooding, damaging wind gusts, large hail, and tornadoes.

A tornado is a violently rotating vortex of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes are smaller than other types of storm, but they are also the most violent storms that Earth experiences, capable of producing winds to over 300 mph (480 km/h). Most tornadoes are no more than a few hundred yards wide and last only a few minutes, but can grow to well over a mile wide and persist for a few hours.

The term "cyclone" encompass a variety of weather phenomena, including hurricanes. All cyclones consist of a broad area of low pressure wind winds that circulate cyclonically around the center of lowest pressure, meaning that these systems rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. The two types that most commonly affect people are tropical cyclones and mid-latitude cyclones. Mid-latitude cyclones arise from clashing air masses of different temperatures in the latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees. They vary in their characteristics depending on ambient temperature. Under warm summer conditions they often bring heavy rain and thunderstorms, some of which may be severe. Mid-latitude cyclones under winter conditions tend to be stronger. They can bring heavy snow and sometimes become blizzards.

A hurricane is simply a strong tropical cyclone that occurs in the vicinity of North America. A tropical cyclone is a low pressure system composed of an organized complex of thunderstorms. Tropical cyclones can only develop over warm ocean water. A hurrican produces very powerful winds and large waves. When a hurricane hits land it drives seawater onto land in what is called a storm surge. Torrential rain from hurricanes often results in widespread flooding. Thunderstorms in the outer bands can become severe and produce tornadoes. At the center of a hurricane is a calm region known as the eye.
