Tornadoes are local storms of short duration (this ranges between 5 and 10 minutes) formed of winds that rotate at very high speeds, usually in a counter-clockwise direction.
A tornado's characteristics:
- Time of day: they usually occur in the afternoon (3 - 7 PM)
- Direction: usually from southwest to northeast
- Length of path: this is the distance it travels; the average is 4 miles, but it could also travel around 300 miles.
- Width of path: averages between 300 and 400 yards but tornadoes have cut paths a mile or more in width.
- Speed of travel: though speeds of 68 mph have been reported, the average speed is somewhere between 25 and 40 mph.
- Cloud: dark cumulonimbus (thunderstorm cloud) from which the funnel-shaped pendant extends to the ground.
- Precipitation: rain and hail before the tornado hits and heavy downpour to the side of the tornado's path.
- Sound: roaring, rushing noise.
