Shangzhiduo village in Harbin was hit by a tornado. How powerful is the tornado?

1. Tornadoes are more powerful than you think. According to the estimation of relevant scientists, the average energy of tornadoes can reach 1 10,000 kilowatts per hour, which is equivalent to a power plant with huge capacity.

An ordinary power plant needs to store a huge amount of wind energy to get the corresponding operation. But the energy of a tornado can easily support a power plant with huge capacity, so you can imagine how powerful it is. A tornado can drive a branch to easily penetrate a thick steel plate, or a very thin grass can directly penetrate a board, which is enough to show that the wind speed is more terrible than we thought. This tornado is fatal weather.

Second, the power of the tornado is near him, and the wind speed near him can reach 100 to 200 meters per second, which is several times larger than the wind speed in the center of the sea.

Although we rarely see such a scene in our life, we all know that a tornado can easily roll up a car and uproot trees planted at the roots, and the house can only be easily torn in front of them. We are as fragile as ants in the face of tornadoes, and the power of nature is very terrible. Tornado is also the only fastest and most violent strong wind in the world, with super destructive power.

Third, the power of tornadoes lies not only in the fast wind speed, but also in the long-term instability of the weather, which will pose a greater threat to people.

Tornadoes are basically in heavy rain or thunderstorms. There are not only strong winds but also heavy rains at this time. It is almost impossible for many residents to find hiding places. Because under the attack of tornado, you may not be able to stand completely. Only in extreme weather can you see how small we are on this earth. Sometimes we will find that strong lightning entering a tornado will have very terrible consequences.
