The narrow end always touches the earth’s surface while the wider end touches the cumulonimbus clouds. Tornadoes can have a maximum wind speed of about 483km/h and a minimum wind speed of 177km/h (Byars and Doron 23).

Tornadoes are too dangerous, and they cause damages and they can lead to death. It is unfortunate that no one except the weather forecasters and other organizations knows when a tornado will come. In the case that a tornado begins without the knowledge of people, major losses are usually experienced i.e. loss of, property damages and even loss of lives. With this in mind, forecasting is necessary for such situations. There should be an organization to forecast and see what is going before the occurrence of a tornado so that people are warned in advance in regard to its occurrence. This will help citizens take precautions and defend themselves against the tornado (Weems 21). Even though it is not a perfect system, the government should take the responsibility of forecasting tornadoes and alarming people.

The United States of America is one country that has experienced incidences of tornadoes more than other nations in the world. This is has been attributed to the clash between arctic winds and tropical winds that occur in the Midwestern states. Many Americans have lost their lives majorly due to lack of prior information of tornadoes that would occur (Kunreuther, pg. 24) Therefore, it’s important that the government be responsible for forecasting and giving warnings to people that is about tornadoes. Forecasting can help people to be prepared for the upcoming disaster, and here is an example that shows us forecasting can reduce the number of people died. In 1953, the National Weather Service started giving direct warnings about the coming of tornadoes. This information came after they had predicted, and they were sure of the place and time when the tornado will occur.
