Tornadoes are powerful natural disasters characterized by rotating columns of air extending from thunderstorms to the ground. Typically occurring in spring and summer, especially in Southern states, conditions that lead to tornado formation usually involve warm and humid air. The lifespan of tornadoes can vary significantly, lasting anywhere from a few seconds to an hour. Their destructive potential is immense; for instance, F5 tornadoes can toss houses and cause catastrophic damage, demonstrating the need for awareness and preparedness.
