A funnel shape that comes from the clouds and is formed by cold and hot air mixing with each other. When the vortex hits the ground, it is called a Tornado. They can have winds up to 100-miles to 255 miles. These winds are devastating and can easily tear down a house. They have a scale called the "Enhanced Fujita scale". It measures the destruction of the tornado aswell as the winds inside the tornado. It goes up to 5. EF0: Little damage; Hairdo ruined, roof tiles off. EF1: Moderate damage; roofs torn down, cars turned, trees blown. EF2: Acceptable damage; Poorly made houses ripped off the ground, cars lifted, trees gone. EF3: Severe damage; Houses lifted off foundation, cars teared. EF4: Insane damage; Well constructed houses ripped off the ground, trucks (tankers) sucked right in, thrown. EF5: Extreme damage; Concrete structures DESTROYED, houses OBLITERATED, welded-to ground structures gone. Also, please note, if you decide to place your house in tornado alley, don't be mad when you come back from work and see your house missing.
