Storms

Tornados 1. A rapidly whirling _funnel_ shaped cloud that reaches down from a storm cloud to touch Earth’s _surface_ 2. Tornadoes that form over an _area__ are called a _Twister_. 3. Tornadoes can have winds up to _500_ km/hr. 4. 4. Form from _cumulonimbus_ clouds.

Tornadoes 5. Form in _spring_/ early __summer__. 6. Form in late _spring__ (ground’s _warming_) 7. Tornado Alley - _central_, _flat_, __________, and __________. 8. Damage comes from _wind_ and _rain_.

Tornadoes 9. Tornado watch vs. Tornado warning 10. Tornado Watch – announcement that tornadoes are _possible_ in your area. 11. Tornado Warning – announcement that tornadoes are _definite_ in your area. 12. Safest place to be during a tornado is _lowest_/ interior_ of the house (away from _windows_)
