The strongest tornadoes are in the USA. Every tornado is distinctive. Tornadoes usually occur around 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. In Oklahoma cattle were swept up in a tornado carried across the country and set down unharmed. The word “tornado” is from the Spanish word, tronada. Some people back in the old days thought dust devils were ghosts. A strong tornado can pick up a house. Tornadoes can turn small objects to missiles. Each year lots of people die because of tornadoes. A tornado’s color usually matches the ground color. Some tornadoes are invisible. You would have to wait 1,400 years to be struck by a tornado. Tornadoes have killed more people than hurricanes and floods.
