Can tornadoes be predicted?

Tornado is a strong, small-scale air vortex, a funnel-shaped cloud extending from the bottom of thunderstorm cloud to the ground, and also a strong whirlwind produced by the so-called "tornado".

At present, the prediction and early warning of tornado is still a worldwide problem. At present, what we can do is to remind the tornado that it is approaching, that is, after the symptoms of the tornado appear, we can judge the whereabouts of the tornado and give an alarm to the downstream area of the tornado, and this approach reminder can only be released 5-30 minutes in advance.

At present, the accuracy of forecasting tornadoes in the future 1-2 days in the United States is very low. Tornado warning usually refers to weather forecast, Doppler weather radar and storm monitoring network. However, according to the Doppler weather radar, there may be an empty report, that is, "the wolf is coming".

The correct way to deal with tornadoes:

When you encounter a tornado at home, you should close the windows as soon as possible, stay away from doors and windows and the external wall of the house, hide in the wall or small room opposite the tornado, squat down with your head in your arms, lie in the bathtub or hide under the table, and protect your head and neck with your hands. The safest place to avoid a tornado is the basement or semi-basement.

When encountering a tornado in the wild, protect your head and neck with your hands, and lie down in low-lying places such as ditches and depressions nearby, but stay away from trees and telephone poles. Cars should pay special attention when dealing with tornadoes. Never drive to avoid, and don't avoid in the car, because the car has almost no defense ability against tornadoes. Leave the car immediately and avoid in low-lying areas.
