Fun Fact: If the tornado looks like it’s not moving, that means it’s heading to your direction.

Tornado is called 竜巻(Tatsu-maki) in Japanese. 竜 means dragon, 巻 means curl

I'm so confused. I've literally NEVER heard of a tornado in the UK in my whole 38 years. Im not saying they done happen as they obviously do its just strange they never make reports on it.

I lived in tornado alley (Tulsa) for 12 years and we always kept the radio and TV tuned to the weather reports when supercells were tracking toward town. I never had to hit the basement, but we had a few close calls - pretty scary!

NAT GEO HAVE - Their '101' series

[AugmentedGravity]

I have been absolutely fascinated by tornadoes, supercells, storms and weather in general ever since i was a kid. Shows like storm chasers and the likes got me absolutely pulled in and grew my interesst in weather events. You have to have the utmost respect for these storms. And to the people researching, monitoring and preventing these events.

Pure destructive force. Absolutely terrifying. But great explanation here. Was very informative. Also reminds me of the movie "Twister" back in the 90s.

Anyone here remember the Linwood tornado that went from Kansas to Ohio? That one came through my county. It was 400 feet from my house. That was the most terrifying thing I’ve ever experienced.

To get an idea of how powerful the winds of a typical tornado are, consider the fact that some have been known to drive small objects like forks or records deep into tree trunks or telephone poles. Even tornadoes with low Enhanced Fujita Scale ratings have winds that are sufficiently fast and pressure that is sufficiently low to pull the roofs clean off houses.

My name is Setya Faturahman from SMK Bakti Nusa. Tornado are so frightening that they can devour whatever is in front of them, if we see a tornado it is better to take refuge in a safe place like a basement to save yourself.

[neilbrucker]

The fact that these type of weather occurrences shows me that nature or the universe itself runs the show. We just live here

[prodable-bmbz]

4:25 The whole neighborhood was destroyed but at least the pizza survived (bottom left)

[TrisaPradnja]

I love the 101 series. Short, but full of informations

[Serotonious]

Excuse me?? I've lived in England for 27 years and I had NO idea we could even GET tornados here. I was literally just thinking how lucky I was to live in a country that can never get tornadoes! Now I am SHOOK

[martinbondesson]

Any Pecos Hank fans here? If I remember correctly I think National Geographic was going to use his footage to some of their documentaries. Hank is amazing! <3
