Natural disasters are common at our place. One of the natural disaster that hit once in our place was a tornado. It nearly wipe out one Barangay and it also destroyed many livelihood that most of the people depend on their living.

What is a Tornado?

A tornado is a violent rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. The most violent tornado are capable of massive desruction with the wind speed up to 300 mph. They are capable of destroying buildings, trees and could also hurl vehicles from hundreds of yards away.

What are the Causes of a Tornado?

1. Tornadoes are formed when hot air and cold air are mixed in the atmosphere.

2. The clouds grow larger and larger then finally, a thunderstorm is brewed up with a strong updraft.

3. The moisture in the warm air rises and condenses ino large clouds.

4. Then a huge funnel of air forms into the atmosphere and destroys everything in its path.

Tornadoes can bring massive destruction on the environment. Tornadoes can make people die and can destroys a lot of homes, stores and other buildings. It can also bring serious injuries to people because of the flying debris.
