What is a tornado?

A tornado is one type of storm. Yes we have many types of storm but this is just on of them. A tornado is a dark, funnel shaped column of twisting air that extends down from a thunderstorm or a cloud. It usually has lightning, thunder and heavy rain. If it gets close enough to land it can destroy anything in its path. They might be small but they still can be pretty destructive. Tornados are a storm the can kill and injure people, and that happens pretty often.

Were do tornados happen the most?

Yes they do happen all over the world, most of them are found in the United States, east of the Rocky Mountains during the spring and summer months. They say most happen in the middle of the U.S.A.
Water spouts can form in any body of water But the water has to be warm enough for it to form. You almost always know when a tornado is coming because they have sirens to warn you and the wind pick up and it gets really windy:)

How far do tornados go?

Tornados damaged paths can go up to one mile wide and 50 miles long. There was a sigh in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, that a tornado carried a motel sigh 30 miles and dropped it in Arkansas. There speed is between 40 mph and 110 mph. They are one of the worlds greatest storms. And can damage a lot. But how much they do damage is up to the size of the tornado.
Water spouts are the same as tornados but they form on the water. There size is from a few feet to more than a mile in height and from a few feet to hundreds of feet wide. Water Spouts can move any were 2-80 miles in about an hour. It spirals around about 60-120 miles per hour.
