Tornadoes - Many Are Different From
What Dorothy Saw
The Wedge Tornado Typical "wedge tornado" is straight on the sides not funnel shaped and has a wide damage path. It's usually as wide, or wider than it is tall. These monsters are not necessarily stronger than funnels or other shaped tornadoes, but they do cover much more ground. This particular tornado was hanging out the west side of a supercell thunderstorm in the Texas Panhandle. The vehicle in the foreground is an NSSL chase vehicle doing its job long before books and movies told about chasing storms. In those days there was little glory just long days and tiring drives home while Oklahoma City DJ's played requested songs for the returning chasers. Occasionally, there was big reward like on this day. Shortly after this photo was taken this tornado tore through a small Texas town. Residents saw it coming and were under ground, or in a safe shelter. This was the first in a series of tornadoes to strike the Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma that day.
Another Wedge Tornado With A Different Appearance
This tornado lacks the typical funnel or classic tornadic appearance. Huge funnels like this one that are a mile wide are unrecognizable at close range as a tornado, but tend to appear as a boiling wall of fog approaching from out of no where since they favor a position close to the rain wall. Generally the rain stops and the tornado makes a rapid appearance. These storms are the ones that are generally blamed for "striking without warning" since some people try to observe the tornado before taking shelter. Funnels of this character are more common in the southeastern quarter of the nation.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issues tornado watches and warnings and conducts research to better understand these powerful storms and improve forecast techniques. Tornado watches are issued by NOAA's Storm Prediction Center, located in Norman, Oklahoma. Warnings are issued by local National Weather Service forecast offices. Meteorologists rely on weather radar to provide information on developing storms. The network of Doppler radars that blankets the nation detects strong rotation within the storm. Forecasters use this valuable data to determine the likelihood of a tornado and issue the appropriate watches and warnings.

Tornadoes must always be taken seriously. Tornadoes can be very dangerous sometimes even deadly. They come from powerful thunderstorms and appear as rotating, funnel-shaped clouds. Tornado winds can reach 300 miles per hour. They cause damage when they touch down on the ground. They can damage an area one mile wide and 50 miles long. Every state is at some risk, but states in "Tornado Alley" have the highest risk. Tornadoes can form any time of the year, but the season runs from March to August. The ability to predict tornadoes is limited. Usually a community will have at least a few minutes warning. The most important thing to do is TAKE SHELTER when a tornado is nearby. Important terms to know: Tornado Watch Tornadoes are possible. Stay tuned to the radio or television news. Tornado Warning A tornado has been sighted. Take shelter immediately!

Tornadoes
"We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto". Ever since The Wizard of Oz, children have had a misconception that tornadoes have the ability to pick up a house and set it down in a magical world. While tornadoes can pick up a house, it cannot set it down in a magical setting. Tornadoes are not only in Kansas, but occurr in every state in the United States. Here is more information on Tornadoes.
Tornadoes comes from the Latin word tonare, which means "to turn". They are violent, unpredictable, turning winds that descendes from a thundercloud in the shape of a funnel cloud. Tornadoes, also called twisters, are made visable by the dust that is sucked up and also from the condensation of water droplets located in the center of the funnel. The width of a tornado can range from a foot wide to a mile wide. There is little information known about the wind speed inside of a tornado. However, it has been estimated that wind speed reaches to 300 miles per hour. It is no wonder then, that it has the potential to pick up large objects, including uprooting trees and houses.

13. Tornado!
tornadoes are produced inside powerful thunderstorms, which in turn arecreated near the junction between warm, moist air and cold, dry air.
http://whyfiles.org/013tornado/tornado_main1.html
The Most Ferocious Storm
As the residents of Fort Smith, Ark., try to understand why their town stood in the path of the whirlwind on April 22, scientists continue trying to make sense of the phenomenon we call a tornado. Where do these spinning winds originate? What powers them? And how can we protect ourselves? Tornadoes are produced inside powerful thunderstorms, which in turn are created near the junction between warm, moist air and cold, dry air. And that gives us a clue to the major source of their energy: the latent heat ( defined ) contained in the warm, moist air mass.
Tornadoes are most common in "Tornado Alley," shown on the map, particularly in spring and summer. They're also relatively common in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas. The conditions that produce a "tornadic thunderstorm" (a storm that produces a tornado) exist when moist, warm air gets trapped beneath a stable layer of cold, dry air by an intervening layer of warm, dry air. This stratified sandwich of air is called an inversion. If the cap is disturbed by a front or disturbances in the upper atmosphere, the warm, moist air can rise and punch through the stable air that was holding it down. The warm air will start to spiral upward, as latent heat is released when the moisture it holds condenses. Aided by different winds at different levels of the atmosphere, the rotating updraft gains velocity. That, much simplified, is the origin of a tornado.

Tornadoes The unpredictable and destructive nature of tornadoes, defined by The National Weather Service as "a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground and pendant from a thunderstorm," frequently results in deadly consequences for the people and paths it crosses. It is because of its mysterious and often erratic nature that tornadoes have been widely studied and researched by scientists, leading to a better and ever growing understanding of the atmospheric conditions which give rise to the spiraling vortex known as the tornado.

http://www.germantown.k12.il.us/html/tornado.html
Grade 7 Natural Disasters Project TORNADOES!! A tornado is a violent whirling wind, characteristically accompanied by a funnel-shaped cloud extending down from a cumulonimbus cloud. The air pressure at the bottom of the funnel of swirling air is extremely low. When this low pressure area touches the ground, it acts like a giant vacuum cleaner. Some tornadoes even occur over water. A tornado over a lake or ocean is called a waterspout. Tornadoes generally exhibit a certain characteristic cycle of behavior between formation and final disappearance. The first sign of a tornado may be a strong whirlwind of dust from the ground surface, often at the same time as a short funnel grows from the storm cloud above it. The funnel then becomes more organized and descends further from the cloud, sometimes touching the ground. Meteorologists are not sure how tornadoes form. But they do know that they are the result of great instability in the atmosphere and are often associated with sever thunderstorms or in advance of cold fronts. Weather forecasts include tornado alerts when these conditions arise. Tornadoes can occur, however, ahead of warm fronts or even behind cold fronts. The existence of a strong updraft, such as that generated by a severe thunderstorm, and the conservation of rotational momentum, are clues to how they are formed. Tornadoes occur most often in spring during the late afternoon or early evening. In the United States, they are most common on the Great Plains. In fact, tornadoes are so common that this part of the United States is often called

March 17-20, 2003
The first outbreak of 2003 produced scattered tornadoes from Texas to Georgia. The Texas tornadoes, on the 17th, were caught on film by several experienced storm chasers. On the 19th, the tornadoes turned deadly in Georgia and Alabama. Six people were killed as a family of intense tornadoes swept across Mitchell and Worth counties in Georgia. More than 50 homes were destroyed in Camilla, Mitchell County, with 4 people killed in the area. Two more died in a mobile home, southwest of Sylvester, Worth County. Another death was reported in a mobile home near Tony, Madison County, Alabama.
The most significant tornado story in early 2003 originated in the central African country of Congo. World news organizations proclaim that a tornado killed 164 people and injured 1700 others in Bandundu Province at 11 PM, Sunday evening, February 2nd. One report suggested that the path length was about 100 miles.

    The most violent tornadoes are capable of tremendous destructionwith wind speeds of 250 mph or more. Q. How do tornadoes form?
    http://www.noaa.gov/tornadofaqs.html
    Q. What is a tornado? A. 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. In an average year, 800 tornadoes are reported nationwide. Q. How do tornadoes form? A. Before thunderstorms develop, a change in wind direction and an increase in wind speed with increasing height creates an invisible, horizontal spinning effect in the lower atmosphere. Rising air within the thunderstorm updraft tilts the rotating air from horizontal to vertical. An area of rotation, 2-6 miles wide, now extends through much of the storm. Most strong and violent tornadoes form within this area of strong rotation. Q. Are there different kinds of tornadoes? A. Some tornadoes may form during the early stages of rapidly developing thunderstorms. This type or tornado is most common along the front range of the Rocky Mountains, the Plains and the western states. Tornadoes may appear nearly transparent until dust and debris are picked up. Occasionally, two or more tornadoes may occur at the same time. Waterspouts are weak tornadoes that form over warm water. Waterspouts are most common along the Gulf Coast and southeastern states. In the western United States, they occur with cold late-fall or late-winter storms, during a time when you least expect tornado development. Waterspouts occasionally move inland, becoming tornadoes causing damage and injuries.
