Frequently asked
What exactly is a tornado and how does it form?
A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm cloud to the ground. Tornadoes form when warm, moist air near the ground meets cold, dry air above, creating instability. Wind shear, which is changes in wind speed and direction with height, causes the air to rotate. When this rotating air is stretched vertically, it becomes a powerful tornado.
How fast do tornadoes spin and how is their strength measured?
Tornado wind speeds range from 40 mph in weak tornadoes to over 200 mph in violent ones. Meteorologists use the Enhanced Fujita Scale to rate tornado strength from zero to five, based on damage patterns rather than direct wind measurements. A single supercell thunderstorm can produce multiple tornadoes.
Where and when do most tornadoes occur?
The United States experiences more tornadoes than any other country, with about 1,000 per year. Most happen in the Great Plains and Midwest, particularly in an area called Tornado Alley. Spring and early summer are peak tornado season, especially during late afternoon and early evening hours.
