Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: A tornado is a dense circulation of high-velocity winds with a low pressure core. Most damage in the path of a tornado is caused by the extremely high speed winds. Material around the tornado can be drawn in to the center by the low pressure, lifted into the air, and thrown out, causing damage further from the center. Multiple vortexes can surround the center of the tornado path, concentrating the most intense damage in small areas.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
A successful answer should include at least four of the following:
- take cover in an enclosed building
- do not touch electrical appliances that are plugged in.
- avoid using running water for bathing, showering or dishwashing.
- stay away from open water.
- stay away from open fields.
- do not take shelter in a cave.
- stay away from tall objects like trees or power poles.
- stay away from large metal objects.
