Can tornadoes be predicted?

Tornadoes are small in horizontal scale (diameter), and small-scale weather events are highly random in time and space. Meteorological detection equipment and detection systems cannot effectively and accurately monitor and track the occurrence and development of tornadoes, and it is even more difficult to accurately predict them. Even in developed countries like the United States, it is still difficult to accurately predict tornadoes.

Data show that tornadoes are small-scale air vortices generated under strong unstable weather conditions. The central wind can reach 100 ~ 200m/s, and the diameter of the lower part of the tornado is generally between several meters and hundreds of meters. The diameter of a particularly large tornado can reach 1km. After the tornado is formed, it usually lasts for more than ten minutes to several hours. The attack range is small, but the destructive power is great.

Tornado is coming, the public's prevention and response plan:

1. At home, be sure to stay away from doors, windows and external walls of houses and hide in the wall or small room opposite the tornado. The safest place to avoid a tornado is the basement or semi-basement.

2. In case of pole falling and house collapse, cut off the power supply in time to prevent electric shock or fire.

3. When there is a tornado outside the venue, you should look for low-lying land nearby, but stay away from trees and telephone poles to avoid being smashed, crushed and electrocuted.

4. When you encounter a tornado when you drive out, don't drive to avoid it, and don't avoid it in the car, because the car has almost no defense against tornadoes. You should leave the car immediately and avoid it in a low-lying place.
