SNCA:Tornado

DOCTOOOOOOOOOS THERE'S A TORNADO COMING GET TO THE BASEMENT!!!!

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air. Tornadoes appear as funnel clouds going from a cumulonimbus cloud to the ground. They typically move along the path of a storm. Tornadoes can have multiple vortices, becoming more dangerous. They can also be rain-wrapped, making them extremely dangerous since you can't see them.

Tornadoes are most common in the midwestern and southern United States, though they occur all over the world. One could even hit your house some day.

Enhanced Fujita Scale

Tornadoes are rated on a scale known as the Enhanced Fujita scale, similar to how 'jaks are rated using the mineral rating system. The majority of tornadoes are EF0 or EF1.

Rating	Damage	Wind Speed (mph)
EF0	Barely any damage, the tornado equivalent of a Failraid. Some small and poorly-built structures may be knocked down.	65-85
EF1	A bit of damage. Vehicles are typically flipped. Noticeable damage to temporary structures.	86-110
EF2	Considerable damage. Mobile homes are destroyed. Well-built structures sustain visible damage but are still standing.	111-135
EF3	Severe damage. Well-built structures can collapse. Buildings with less stable foundations are swept away.	136-165
EF4	Devastating damage. Well-built structures are completely destroyed.	166-200
EF5	Incredible damage. Entire towns are reduced to piles of rubble.	201+

Tornado Safety

Tornadoes are extremely dangerous, but you can survive them if you know what you're doing. There is no way of knowing how destructive a tornado is until after it's over, so it's best to treat every tornado warning as if there's an extremely destructive tornado heading for you.

Be Alert

• You WILL pay attention to the Storm Prediction Center's tornado risk outlooks (available here).
• You WILL have a NOAA weather radio that will sound an alarm for a tornado warning.
• You WILL watch keyed aryan weather streamers such as Ryan Hall and Max Velocity.

During a Tornado Warning

• You WILL go to an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building, preferably a basement if there is one.
• You WILL have supplies such as water, a flashlight, a first aid kit, and some form of communication.
• You WILL wear closed-toed shoes in case you have to walk through debris.
• You WILL protect your head.
• You WILL NOT go outside to watch the tornado.
• You WILL NOT take shelter under a bridge.
• You WILL NOT take shelter in a room with windows.
• You WILL NOT take shelter in a hallway.
• You WILL NOT get in your car and try to "outrun" the tornado.
