Residential houses were also severely damaged. Some telephone poles blown down by the tornado directly hit the houses, causing roof damage and broken glass. What circumstances lead to a tornado?

First of all, a tornado is a kind of air flow. When the weather conditions are very unstable and two streams of air from different directions collide, this huge vortex will be formed. This kind of project is also divided into four stages. The first is due to the rising air flow caused by unstable factors in the atmosphere, which increases its speed. The second is that the tornado rotates due to the wind direction. When the tornado rotates and advances, the huge air pressure it exhibits will form a core. These factors that lead to the formation of tornadoes will cause great casualties to surrounding buildings or people. How can you protect yourself from a tornado?

When you see a tornado coming, you must escape from a car or somewhere with trees next to it as soon as possible. Find a low-lying place, lie down and protect your head with your hands. At the same time, you should face the opposite direction of the tornado to avoid being diverted by the air current.
