Where did the tornado appear the other day?

On the afternoon of June 22, tornadoes occurred in Funing and Sheyang counties of Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, causing heavy casualties and property losses.

Tornadoes are difficult to predict, so the current technology is still difficult to crack. Experts pointed out that tornadoes come and go in a hurry, which is difficult to be accurately predicted and there is not enough time to deal with it. This is an important reason for the serious losses caused by tornadoes.

Tornado is essentially a strong small-scale air vortex. Its upper part is black or thick gray cumulonimbus clouds, and its lower part is a drooping funnel-shaped cloud column, shaped like an elephant's nose, usually accompanied by thunderstorms and sometimes hail. Just one tornado can cause amazing damage. Sometimes there is more than one tornado in the same storm system, which can reach dozens or even more. As soon as one tornado dissipated, another appeared immediately. Experts pointed out that in meteorology, tornadoes belong to strong convective weather, which occurs suddenly, moves quickly and is extremely destructive. Accurately predicting when and where it will happen and where it will pass in a day has always been a worldwide problem.
