  2. What is a tornado? • A tornado is a spinning, funnel shaped, column of air that touches the ground. • Tornadoes are smaller, but much stronger, than hurricanes.

  3. How do tornadoes form? • Tornadoes form beneath thunderstorm clouds. • Warm air and cold air combine, and the cold air goes down as the warm air rises. • The warm air eventually twists into spiral, forming a funnel cloud. • As the sky begins to turn a very dark green color, the tornado begins its path of destruction.

  4. Tornado Safety • When there is a TORNADO WARNING that means a tornado has been sighted and one may be heading your way. • Wear sturdy shoes that cover every part of your foot. (Ex. Running Shoes) • Get to the lowest interior room of your home. • Keep the radio on and tuned into a station broadcasting the weather report. • Have a flashlight handy and an emergency kit. • Remain calm!!!
