What are tornadoes?

Tornadoes are columns of rotating air that extend from the base of a thunderstorm cloud to the ground. They are typically a few hundred meters wide and can travel for miles. Tornadoes can cause severe damage to buildings, infrastructure, and even people.

How do tornadoes form?

Tornadoes form when warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets cold, dry air from the north. The warm air rises, creating an updraft. The updraft then rotates, creating a vortex. If the vortex becomes strong enough, it can reach the ground and become a tornado.

What is the Fujita scale?

The Fujita scale is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes. The scale ranges from F0 to F5, with F0 being the weakest and F5 being the strongest. The Fujita scale is based on the damage caused by the tornado.

What are some safety tips for tornadoes?

If you are caught in a tornado, there are a few things you can do to stay safe.

• Seek shelter in a sturdy building.
• Go to the lowest level of the building.
• Stay away from windows.
• Cover your head and neck with a blanket or pillow.

Tornadoes can be a dangerous force of nature, but by understanding the science behind them, we can be better prepared to stay safe.
