What are researchers discovering today about tornadoes that can help protect lives in the future? If you think back to themovie "Twister," in the early 1990s we were starting to do more field work on tornadoes. We were taking radar out in trucks and driving vehicles with roof-mounted instru...
Tornadoes are classified as weak, strong, and violent. An EF4 and EF5, the most intense tornadoes, can produce wind speeds of 166 mph or more, according to the National Weather Service. Though violent storms only make up 2% of all twisters, they are responsible for about 70% of tornado...

Why are igneous rocks useful? What affects how viscous lava is? Why do meteors burn up in the mesosphere? Why do few fossils exist from the Precambrian? Why do glaciers form slowly in Antarctica? Why are basalt and granite important igneous rocks? Why do fire tornadoes start? Why do cloud...

Are people who disagree with you about politics reduced to wild nature? Do they have the same ethical status as lions or tornadoes? And if so, by what right could you possibly condemn them? The only good reasons to vote in this election are non-political. As a personal experience, voting...
The storm's winds often spawn tornadoes, which are smaller, more intense cyclonic storms that cause additional damage. You can read more about them in How Tornadoes Work. The extent of hurricane damage doesn't just depend on the strength of the storm, but also the way it makes contact ...
