One of the most destructive natural phenomena, tornadoes are swirling winds that spin at phenomenal speeds of up to 400 mph. Like hurricanes, they are caused by severe low pressure zones that attract winds with force. They have relatively small bases, a fact which greatly magnifies their destructive power. Tornadoes are difficult to predict and often strike without warning.
Tornadoes may range in width from several hundred yards to more than one mile across. Although tornadoes occur throughout most of the United States, areas in the Midwest and South are particularly susceptible to tornado activity.
^ I live smack in the middle of "Tornado Alley"!! In fact, a couple of months ago, I blogged on GS while in a crouched position in an interior hallway of our school while we were under lockdown during a tornado. Scary stuff.
