Tornado's

Tornado's

The author's purpose in this article is to inform the reader of what tornado's are, and what they are capable of doing.

Tornado's, storm's with high wind speeds that cause damage, have been named nature's most violent storm. What makes them so violent is "the very rapid air extending down from the storm to the ground." This pathway between the two forms the funnel shape characteristic of tornado's. Inside these funnels are high winds moving well over 250 mph at times, most tornado's occur around other storms, as the text states "Tornadoes occasionally accompany tropical storms and hurricanes that move over land." This means that most destruction in some hurricanes or just thunderstorms in general do not always come from that particular storm itself but, from the tornado's that have formed around it. As a tornado moves along its area, it destroys everything in its path, leaving nothing behind. Lastly another crazy thing that these storms are known for is having the ability to pick things up and carry them 50-100 miles and sometimes either farther from their original location.

I've never been in a tornado, and hope to never be in one, I've heard and seen too many bad things happen with these types of storms. As can be concluded, tornado's are very dangerous storms capable of serious damage, so stay safe!
