Tornadoes are common sights in the US particularly down south in the spring and in the midwest during summer. Tornadoes are formed when unsettled warm air in the clouds meet the cooler air just above ground causing air to rotate and gaining speed at the same time. A tornado can range from a few yards to couple of miles wide and can do serious damage to people buildings cars and livestock as it randomly tossing debris around along its path.
