| Tornado Pictures | Tornado’s, known
as Cyclones in the Far East, are one of the seven natural wonders of the
world. These phenomenon inspire awe and fear in those who witness them.
Tornado’s represent natures force and beauty, stretching its power from
the sky to the earth.
A tornado's strength is derived from the wind
speed generated, and the length of the base.
We are looking for experienced storm chasers. If you are a storm chaser in the Tulsa, OK area and you would like to have a storm chase documented on this site, please contact me below. If you are have exclusive footage (not copyrighted) of tornado's and would like to participate in constructing a video of tornado's, please contact me at dsm185s@geocities.com. |

Most
tornado's occur in an area known as Tornado Alley. It stretches from Minnesota
down to Texas. 
Tornado's
are measured using the Fujita scale. However, this scale can be misleading.
The scale measures the DAMAGE PATH of the tornado. If a large tornado with
300mph winds occures where it cannot cause much damage, it could have a
low Fujita rating. Likewise, if a small tornado strikes downtown, it could
have a large Fujita rating. The Fujita Scale assumes a large tornado causes
lots of damage and a small tornado causes less damage. Here are some examples
of tornados that have been measured by the Fujita Scale.
