The tornadoes.

How tornadoes are made?


When the funnel-shaped cloud that has formed around the wind column descends until it
touches the ground, strong rotating winds are produced, with speeds of up to 80 meters
per second, combined with the depression that occurs in the center of the wind column.

What shape do have?


Tornadoes come in different sizes and shapes, but they generally have the shape of a
funnel cloud, whose narrowest end touches the ground and is usually surrounded by a
cloud of debris and dust, at least in its first moments.

What to do in case of a tornado?


If you are outdoors when a tornado approaches, seek shelter immediately. If there is no
shelter nearby, go to a low area such as a ditch or ravine and lie down on the ground.
Protect your head and neck with an object or your arms. Avoid areas with many trees.
