A tornado is a kind of storm which looks like a huge funnel. Tornados are the strongest winds on earth. They can reach 480 km per hour. With such great strength, a tornado causes a lot of damage. It can uproot trees, flatten buildings, and throw heavy things such as cars hundreds of meters. It is especially dangerous for people in cars or mobile homes. People are advised to take shelter in a basement or a sturdy building when a tornado approaches.

Tornadoes differ in their duration and the distance they travel. Most last less than ten minutes and travel five to ten kilometers. Some special tornadoes can last several hours and travel up to more than 150 km. Scientists use radar and weather satellites to track tornadoes and give warnings to people in affected areas.

Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere on earth, but most of them happen in the United States, especially in the Great Plains region. This area may experience more than 200 tornadoes in each year. 5 Other countries like Canada, Bangladesh, and Australia also face tornadoes, but less frequently.
