About Tornado
A tornado (also known as a twister or cyclone) is a violent, rotating whirlwind of air that comes in contact with land. Tornadoes come in different shapes and sizes but are always circulating funnels produced by a storm. The Enhanced Fujita scale measures the intensity of a tornado with an EF5 being the largest. Tornadoes are one of the most dangerous natural disasters and tornado winds can reach up to over 300mph.
