A lesser number occur outside the U.S., most notably in parts of neighboring southern Canada during the Northern Hemisphere 's summer season, but are also known in Europe, Asia, and Australia. As of October 29, there have been 1,418 tornadoes reported in the US in 2010 (of which at least 1,026 were confirmed), with 36 confirmed fatalities. Elsewhere in the world, 5 people were killed in tornadoes, three in the Bahamas , one in Bangladesh , and one in Germany . The year has been near average for tornadoes thus far despite an extremely quiet early spring period, however such changed after a huge upswing starting in late April and a busy late spring and summer period. The year started with above-normal activity in January, primarily as a result of a single moderate outbreak late in the month. After that, arctic air settled in across the central and southern United States, suppressing warm air to the

    Extractions: Welcome to the site on Tornados! At this time, I would like to dedicate the theme of this site to my favorite weatherman, Bob Gregory, retired from WTHR13 Indianapolis, In. He has been a famous local weather newscaster as far as I can remember. Watching him broadcast weather newscasts over the years, I admire his thorough coverage of pending severe weather and how we can protect ourselves in serious, dangerous weather. My interest in weather started by simply growing up in Indiana. Indiana experiences changeable weather. In the winter, several days may be experiencing sub zero temperatures, and suddenly it is in record breaking temperatures of the seventies. You never know what type of weather will be moving in from one day to the next! Over the years, I have experienced blizzards, severe lightening storms, and tornadoes. This site is on the weather phenomenon, tornadoes which scientist have only theories on how they develop. BEST

But most tornadoes form in a belt from Nebraska southward through central Texas known as Tornado Alley and in the Southeast. Wind speeds in tornadoes can vary from 72 to almost 300 mph. Fortunately, only 2 percent of all tornadoes have winds greater than 200 mph. A tornado is defined as an intense, rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm cloud to the ground. Air moves very rapidly upward around a tornado center. This distinguishes tornadoes from microbursts , which often do tornado-like damage and are often mistaken for tornadoes. Microbursts, on the other hand, features air blasting downward from thunderstorms. The

    Extractions: Advanced Search Print Preview Tornadoes are nature’s most violent storms. Spawned from powerful thunderstorms, tornadoes can cause fatalities and devastate a neighborhood in seconds. A tornado appears as a rotating, funnel-shaped cloud that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground with whirling winds that can reach 300 miles per hour. Damage paths can be in excess of one mile wide and 50 miles long. Every state is at some risk from this hazard. Some tornadoes are clearly visible, while rain or nearby low-hanging clouds obscure others. Occasionally, tornadoes develop so rapidly that little, if any, advance warning is possible. Before a tornado hits, the wind may die down and the air may become very still. A cloud of debris can mark the location of a tornado even if a funnel is not visible. Tornadoes generally occur near the trailing edge of a thunderstorm. It is not uncommon to see clear, sunlit skies behind a tornado. The following are facts about tornadoes: They may strike quickly, with little or no warning.

    Extractions: TORNADOES HOME BIOLOGY FILMS GEOGRAPHY ... SPORT A tornado is a violently rotating column of air which is in contact with both a cumulonimbus (or, in rare cases, a cumulus) cloud base and the surface of the earth. Tornadoes come in many sizes, but are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, with the narrow end touching the earth. Often, a cloud of debris encircles the lower portion of the funnel. Most tornadoes have wind speeds of 110 mph (175 km/h) or less, are approximately 250 feet (75 m) across, and travel a few miles (several kilometers) before dissipating. However, some tornadoes attain wind speeds of more than 300 mph (480 km/h), stretch more than a mile (1.6 km) across, and stay on the ground for dozens of miles (more than 100 km). A tornado near Oklahoma Although tornadoes have been observed on every continent except Antarctica , most occur in the United States .

    Extractions: Photograph by: Marshall They can be categorized as "weak", "strong", and "violent"; with weak tornadoes often having a thin, rope-like appearance, as exhibited by this tornado near Dawn, Texas. About 7 in 10 tornadoes are weak, with rotating wind speeds no greater than about 110 MPH. (looking west from about 1 mile.) The typical strong tornado often has what is popularly considered a more "classic" funnel-shaped cloud associated with the whirling updraft. Rotating wind speeds vary from 110 to 200 MPH. Photograph by: NSSL Nearly 3 in 10 tornadoes are strong, such as this twister on the plains of North Dakota. Looking northeast (from about 2 miles), note the spiraling inflow cloud, probably a tail cloud, feeding into the tornado. An important safety consideration is that weak and strong tornadoes by definition do not level well-built homes. Thus, a secure home will offer shelter from almost 100 percent of all direct tornado strikes. Only violent tornadoes are capable of leveling a well-anchored, solidly constructed home. Fortunately, less than 2 percent of all tornadoes reach the 200+ MPH violent category. Furthermore, most violent tornadoes only produce home-leveling damage within a very small portion of their overall damage swath. Less than 5 percent of the 5,000 affected homes in Wichita Falls, Texas were leveled by this massive 1979 tornado. (Looking south from 5 miles).

In an average year, 800 tornadoes are reported nationwide, resulting in 80 deaths and over 1,500 injuries. A tornado is defined as a violently rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. The most violent tornadoes are capable of tremendous destruction with wind speeds of 250 mph or more. Damage paths can be in excess of one mile wide and 50 miles long.
