tornado events

A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground, creating a visible funnel-shaped cloud. They form when warm, moist air rises and interacts with cooler, dry air, generating strong wind currents and intense rotation. Tornadoes can cause severe damage due to extremely high winds, sometimes exceeding 300 miles per hour, which can destroy structures, uproot trees, and endanger lives. They are most common in certain regions, like the U.S. Tornado Alley, especially during spring and early summer. Predicting their precise occurrence remains challenging, emphasizing the importance of preparedness and timely warnings.
