A tornado is a violently rotating column of air which is in contact with both a cumulonimbus cloud base and the ground on earth. Only in rare cases is it made with a cumulus cloud. Tornadoes can come in many sizes, but are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, with the narrow end touching the ground. Most tornadoes have winds of 110 miles per hour or less. They are about 250 feet across, and travel a few miles before dissipating. Some tornadoes can have winds of 300 miles per hour, and can be more than a mile across. They have recorded tornadoes on every continent except for Antarctic. On an average year, there are about 800 tornadoes that cause about 80 deaths and around 1500 injuries. Once a tornado in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, carried a motel sign 30 miles and dropped it in Arkansas! They develop in warm, moist air most of the time.
