Tornadoes

Tornadoes form when hot air and cold air combine, causing winds to form and a funnel cloud to appear. A tornado is not officially a tornado until it touches the ground; beforehand it is still considered a funnel cloud. When a tornado has been spotted or a funnel cloud is in the area, people should get to the nearest safe place like a basement, bathroom, or interior room on the lowest floor of a building to protect themselves from the rotating winds that can destroy almost anything in their path.

SAFETY
 Whenever you are notified that a tornado has
been spotted or a funnel cloud is in the area,
always get to the nearest, safest place. What is
a safe place?

 1. If you are home; a basement or bathroom

 2. If you are driving; pull over and find the


nearest shelter where you can go to a
bathroom or a storage unit, pull over and
cover in a ditch.

 3. If you are not in either of these situations,


and can’t quite find out what you should do,
always find a heavy piece of metal, or sturdy
appliance that you can protect yourself from.
INTERESTING FACTS

 A tornado can occur anytime of the year. However,


most of them occur in the month of May.

 The wind speed of a tornado is recorded between 40


mph to 110 mph. These rotating tornadoes can
travel many miles and destroy almost anything in
its path.

 These funnel shaped tornadoes mainly occur in


areas of Southern Canada, Southern Africa, and in
some areas of Asia. They also occur in some areas of
Europe and southeastern regions of Australia and
