how twisters really work

jpr: My father drove us through the mid west to a college for my freshman year. A tornado had recently (the week prior) passed along the interstate somewhere in farm lands of Indiana. The "scrape" left by the tornado was 50 ft? wide. It left it's mark for several miles in our view. Just vast farm lands with an occasional building.The twister swayed from home to home as it past. Not one structure in its front escaped!

    Most deaths from tornadoes normally are the result of enormous amounts of debris flying around at the speed of a bullet almost. In NC I attended training held by a Regional Disaster Team expert. He had just come from the scene of a tornado a few days earlier. He related that one of the victims died when a flying pine needle pierced his carotid artery! Holy haysus.
