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: 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.

The Deadly Spring Season, from February through April is characterized by more powerful tornadoes because of the presence of the jet stream.
http://www.floridadisaster.org/bpr/EMTOOLS/Severe/tornadoes.htm

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?

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.

Alabama Gov. Bob Riley toured part of Prattville and said he was impressed by the community's response to the twister that struck the town. "One of the great things about living in Alabama â and I say this after every major emergency we have â it truly is amazing to see what's happening out there with all the families in this state," Riley said. At least 29 people were injured in Prattville on Sunday, and Mayor Jim Byard said about 200 homes and 50 to 100 businesses were damaged. No deaths were reported. Two people who were critically injured were upgraded to serious on Monday, said Todd Stacy, a spokesman for the governor. At least 11,000 homes and businesses in Prattville lacked power after the storm.

The Cause Of Tornadoes.
tornadoes are caused by clouds rising and creating a vacuum below them.
http://www.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.
