Hi, today im going to tell you interesting facts about tornadoes. Ok the first thing im going to tell you is is how fast they can travel up to. Second im going to tell you about how they are formed. Then the last thing im going to tell you is the different types of tornadoes.

The first thing im going to tell you is how fast tornadoes can travel up to. So, a tornado alone can travel up to 235km thats an average of 250 mph thats pretty fast. So if your outside during a tornado you should seek shelter immediately so you can stay safe.

The second thing I am going to tell you how tornadoes are formed. Tornadoes often happen when a severe thunderstorm occurs. Severe thunderstorms happen from when a super cell cloud is near. A severe thunderstorm often produces rain, thunder, lightning, hail and sometimes might even produce a tornado. During a severe thunderstorm you should always keep the news on and if the storm knocked out your power make sure you ALWAYS have an extra weather source such as a radio.

The last thing I am going to tell you about tornadoes is the various types of tornadoes. There are many different types of tornadoes and their wind speed can be high or low depending on which type of tornado there is. The first type of tornado ia the F1 tornado, this tornado can travel up to at least 60 mph. The second type of tornado is the F2 tornado, this tornado can travel up to at least 120mph. The third type of tornado is an F3 tornado these can travel up to 210 mph. The fourth tornado is an F4 tornado these are pretty fast they can travel up to 290mph. The fifth type of tornado is an F5 tornado these are the moat powerful tornado of them all these can travel up to 450mph these are the most deadliest one of all. Well just so you know there are two other types of tornadoes a waterspout and a dust devil. A water spout is a tornado that forms over water and that is made up of water. The other one is a dust devil this one is formed by wind and dust these are usually found in deserts.   Just a little reminder...... always make sure you are inside during a tornado and if you are stuck outside go into the nearest ditch and get into the tornado safety position.
