Tuesday: Tornadoes



Tornadoes are rapidly rotating columns of air driven by energy in the atmosphere. Tornadoes are formed through intense thunderstorms. Wind speeds can be up to 318 mph. The diameter of a tornado can be anywhere from a few feet to a mile. The winds normally travel northwest. The storm travels at 20-60 mph. It can last from a few minutes to minutes. When caught in a tornado seek shelter under a sturdy object, away from windows.
