Understanding the force behind tornadoes and their devastating potential.

What Is a Tornado?

A tornado is a severe and catastrophic meteorological phenomena formed when strong winds and thunderstorms clash. It is a furiously spinning column of air that extends from a thunderstorm down to the earth.

Supercell and non-supercell, each harboring unique destructiveness.

What is Supercell Tornadoes

Massive vortexes of destruction born from rotating thunderstorms. Supercells can also produce various severe weather phenomena, including large hail, strong winds, and of course tornadoes.

Non-Supercell Tornadoes are usually short-lived and weak although they can occasionally grow strong enough to cause property damage and lives.
