Tornadoes are nature's most violent storms: rotating, funnel-shaped clouds that reach from a thunderstorm down to the ground.
What they can do
- Their whirling winds can reach 300 miles per hour.
- They can strike quickly, with little or no warning.
- They can destroy a neighbourhood in seconds, leaving a path of damage more than a mile wide and 50 miles long.
- They can also come with tropical storms and hurricanes as they move ashore.
Being ready
Nothing guarantees safety in a tornado, but you can take steps to protect yourself. Have a disaster plan: being prepared can reduce fear, anxiety and losses.
Afterwards
If you live through a disaster, it is normal to feel stressed, and you may need help finding ways to cope.
