Tornadoes

Even though it is unlikely, it might happen to you. I am talking about a natural disaster such as tornadoes or volcanoes or floods. We will now be learning about tornadoes.

Tornadoes can happen to anyone really. They usually occur in a flat region, like the center of the country. Mostly where there are plateaus. Tornadoes are nature’s most violent storms. Tornadoes must always be taken seriously. Tornadoes can be very dangerous -- sometimes even deadly. They come from powerful thunderstorms and appear as rotating, funnel-shaped clouds. Tornado winds can reach 300 miles per hour. They cause damage when they touch down on the ground. They can damage an area one mile wide and 50 miles long. They are dangerous to be around.

If you just happen to be around one, you should go to the lowest part of the building you are in. Like if you were in a house you would go in to the basement, or cellar. There are also many ways to handle tornadoes. If you are ever caught in one, be careful.
