These are the kinds of storms that breed tornadoes, but only if there are also very specific conditions in place, clues that we can measure and look out for when we're trying to forecast a storm.这就是孕育着龙卷风的暴风雨，但是只有在一些特殊条件也到位的时候，龙卷风才会形成，当我们想要预测...
In reality, all the calamities we're liable to encounter are due to natural phenomena and human will. But of all the destructive powers in our world, none resembles the ferocity and form of those mythic monsters quite like tornadoes. These storms descend like a dagger from the clouds. They...

Understanding the types of damage tornadoes can inflict is essential for preparing your home and property. Here are common ways tornadoes can cause destruction: Roof and Structural Damage One of the most common and severe outcomes of a tornado is roof and structural damage. Strong winds can rip ...
Characterisation and Analysis of Emerging Localised Severe Storms in Malawi: How Common Are Tornadoes?doi:10.1007/978-3-030-74192-1_14Southern Africa has, of late, been on the receiving end of severe storms that have left behind serious trails of destruction from strong winds, heavy rainfall ...
When severe weather hits the United States, there are ways people across the country can prepare for the potential impact of hail, rain, damaging wind and more. Tornadoes can take down power for thousands of people, cause catastrophic property damage and kill. The U.S. sees about 1,200 ...
Only a fraction of tornadoes are the photogenic tubes we see in Tornado Alley. Most tornadoes happen very quickly and they’re often obscured by heavy rainfall, so it’ll be too late to seek safety by the time you see it. Forecast...
Meanwhile, for the period 1996-2005, areal coverage of strong (F2+) tornado reports was more than three times higher in PDS TOR watches compared to regular TOR watches (and almost 30 times higher than SEV watches). Areal coverage of violent (F4+) tornadoes, while small in all cases, was...
Fire whirls, which are like tornadoes, result from the vortices created by the fire's heat. When these vortices are tilted from horizontal to vertical, you get fire whirls. Fire whirls have been known to hurl flaming logs and burning debris over considerable distances. "There's another way...
One is the counterclockwise rotation of clouds typical of a supercell, evidence of strong air currents within the storm. Another is a wall cloud, a cloud that seems to descend from the bottom of the storm. Wall clouds don't always produce tornadoes, but they're a sign that one might be...
