They are rapidly rotating columns of air that is in contact with both the surface of the earth and the clouds.
  There are over 1,200 tornadoes in the U.S. every year. Over 1/4 of them are in an area referred to as Tornado Alley. This area in between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains in the Central United States. Even though a majority of the tornadoes are formed here all states get tornadoes.
  There is really no completely safe place during a tornado. The safest place to be is in a basement or underground emergency shelter. If neither of these are available go to an inside room on the lowest floor with no windows like a bathroom or a closet. And if at all possible get under something heavy like a table or work bench.
There are different strengths of tornadoes called categories. An EF0 to EF1 is considered a weak tornado with winds from 65 to 110 mph. An EF2 to EF3 is considered a strong tornado with winds from 111 to 165 mph. An EF4 to EF5 is considered a violent tornado with winds from 166 to 200 mph. ]]> 2020-10-28 16:17:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesvenker74_1/k8pengzolvyax0ep/wish/870318604
