tornado

A tornado is a powerful and destructive storm that forms in the air. It's like a giant column of spinning air that touches the ground.

When people talk about tornadoes, they often mention the news or weather reports from areas where these storms are happening. If you live in a place prone to tornadoes, your family might have a plan in case one hits. They might even have a special room or area called a storm shelter where you can go if there's a warning. You might also hear about damage and destruction caused by tornadoes, like trees knocked down or buildings torn apart. In some cases, people will talk about the fear and uncertainty that comes with living in an area where tornadoes are common.
