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. It forms when warm, moist air near the surface meets cold, dry air above, creating wind shear that causes the air to spin. This spinning motion intensifies as it stretches downward, creating a visible funnel cloud.
How fast do tornadoes spin and how are they measured?
Tornado wind speeds are measured using the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which ranges from EF0 to EF5. The fastest tornadoes can exceed 200 miles per hour. Scientists estimate speeds by examining damage patterns after the tornado passes, since we can't measure winds directly inside these dangerous storms.
Where and when do most tornadoes occur?
The United States experiences more tornadoes than any other country, with most occurring in the Great Plains region called 'Tornado Alley', which includes Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas. Spring and early summer are peak tornado season, particularly during late afternoon and evening hours when atmospheric conditions are most unstable.
