Well we don't know of any tornadoes that have picked something up and moved it to Oz, but we do know that tornadoes can have unbelievable strength and that trucks and houses have been picked up and placed elsewhere. In this field trip students will learn about the conditions that allow tornadoes to form, where these windstorms occur, how they're measured, myths about tornadoes, and how to prepare.

Weatheradio Extreme Events Alberta Saskatchewan Manitoba J u s t F o r K i d s Summer Tips Weather Words The typical tornado first appears as a rotation in a huge thunder cloud, behind a shroud of heavy rain or hail. The sky usually turns green, yellow or black. The tornado descends as a violently rotating funnel cloud and sounds like the rumble of a freight train or a jet and can be quite deafening. Tornadoes typically snake erratically from southwest to northeast, toppling buildings, scattering debris and tossing cars as though they were toys. A tornado can last just a few minutes or a few hours and usually leaves a wake of destruction. In Canada, during an average year, approximately 80 tornadoes occur and, on average, cause two deaths and 20 injuries, plus tens of millions of dollars in property damage. These are the reported numbers, many more tornadoes strike unpopulated areas and go undetected. The averages are also deceiving because the majority of twisters do little more than bend TV antennae, break windows, uproot trees, or damage weak structures such as barns and sheds. With wind speeds of less than 160 km/h, and a path 100 m wide by 2 km long, these small tornadoes cause less than three percent of all deaths.

    Extractions: The Deadly Spring Season , from February through April is characterized by more powerful tornadoes because of the presence of the jet stream. When the jet stream digs south into Florida and is accompanied by a strong cold front and a strong squall line of thunderstorms, the jet stream's high level winds of 100 to 200 mph often strengthen a thunderstorm into what meteorologists call a supercell or mesocyclone. These powerful storms can move at speeds of 30 to 50 mph, produce dangerous downburst winds, large hail and the most deadly tornadoes. What Time Are Florida's Tornadoes Likely to Strike?

    Extractions: What Are Tornadoes? Tornadoes, or twisters as they are sometimes called, are nature's fiercest storms. Tornadoes are funnel-shaped wedged-shaped and rope-shaped and seem to appear from the bottoms of the huge thunderstorm clouds. Despite their small size when compared to other wind storms like hurricanes , tornadoes produce very strong winds. If they pass over populated areas they can cause huge amounts of damage to property and many death to animals and humans. How Do Tornadoes Form? Exactly how tornadoes form is still not completely known. But after many years of study, meteorologists , scientists who study weather, do know some things for sure. Tornadoes can form as part of several different types of storms but they are produced inside powerful thunderstorms more than any other. Tornadoes form where warm, moist air and cold, dry air meet and begin to create updrafts that develop into massive rotating cumulonimbus clouds or supercells . Sometimes a spinning column of air called a vortex forms within these clouds. When this vortex becomes visible as a funnel cloud and reaches the ground, a tornado is created.

Tornadoes usually move over the ground at anywhere from 20 to 90 kilometres per hour and often travel from the southwest to the northeast. It is not a good idea to chase tornadoes they are unpredictable and can change course abruptly. Tornadoes form suddenly, often preceded by warm, humid weather. May to September are prime tornado months in Canada. Tornadoes usually hit in the afternoon and early evening, but they have been known to strike at night too. Warning signs of a potential tornado Warning signs include: Severe thunderstorms, with frequent thunder and lightning

Nobody can predict exactly where a tornado will strike. As many people might think, areas near rivers, lakes, and mountains are safe from tornadoes. But the fact of the matter is that no place is safe from tornadoes.

    Extractions: Because a tornado is part of a severe thunderstorm, and thunderstorms occur all over the Earth, tornadoes are not limited to any specific geographic location. In fact, tornadoes have been documented in every one of the United States, and on every continent, with the exception of Antarctica (even there, a tornado occurrence is not impossible). In fact, wherever the atmospheric conditions are right, the occurrence of a tornadic thunderstorm is possible. More on the conditions necessary for tornado formation can be found at the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory Tornado Page In terms of absolute tornado counts, the United States leads the list, with an average of over 1,000 tornadoes recorded each year. A distant second is Canada, with around 100 per year. Other locations that experience frequent tornado occurrences include northern Europe, western Asia, Bangladesh, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. In fact, the United Kingdom has more tornadoes, relative to its land area, than any other country. Fortunately, most UK tornadoes are relatively weak. [

    Extractions: State and Local Information Here's Something To Think About... Be sure you and your family know the best escape routes from your home, including two ways out of each room. Tornadoes are nature's most violent storms. They can appear suddenly without warning and can be invisible until dust and debris are picked up or a funnel cloud appears. Planning and practicing specifically how and where you take shelter is a matter of survival. Be prepared to act quickly. Keep in mind that while tornadoes are more common in the Midwest, Southeast and Southwest, they can occur in any state and at any time of the year, making advance preparation vitally important. Familiarize yourself with the terms that are used to identify a tornado hazard. A tornado watch means a tornado is possible in your area. You should monitor NOAA Weather Radio local radio and television news outlets for the latest developments. A tornado warning is when a tornado is actually occurring, take shelter immediately.

40. The Cause Of Tornadoes.
    tornadoes are caused by clouds rising and creating a vacuum below them.  
    http://nov55.com/tor.html
    
    Extractions: The Cause of Tornadoes Vortexes are created by a fluid rushing in a horizontal direction. This effect is readily observable with whirlpools in a river. Such a horizontal rush of air is consistent with the characteristics of tornadoes. Tornadoes are caused when a cloud of the right size precipitates rapidly releasing heat, which causes it to rise, and creates a vacuum under it. Air rushing under it creates the vortex. It is known that a sudden drop in air pressure precedes tornadoes. The pressure drop is caused by a cloud near the ground rising rapidly creating a partial vacuum below it. The vacuum seems to be quite noticeable, as persons who were near tornadoes often mention it. Precipitation releases as much heat as evaporation absorbs. But precipitation tends to be much faster than evaporation. So a very large amount of heat is released when a cloud precipitates. Heat of course causes air to rise. When a cloud near the ground rises, it creates a partial vacuum under it. The cloud must be the right size for a tornado to occur. A very large cloud would not precipitate uniformly, so the whole cloud would not rise at once. A very small cloud would not produce enough precipitation or heat to create a large enough vacuum for a tornado to form.
