I think their form when east winds meets west winds.So it's two winds meeting at the sametime,.When i use to live in MS,i was in the dark green part.

Not so much to do with wind as it does with air pressure and temperature. Do some research into how hail is formed, and you will gain some insight into the conditions necessary for a tornado to form.

Tornadoes are formed from hot air coming out of Texas.

Btw, here in NYC we actually did have two tornadoes that I know of. One in Queens, where the World's Fair park is, and over the water near Staten Island. What someone would call a water spout I guess.

So it could really happen anywhere, given the right conditions.

It is amazing that wind can do this, luckily, no one was killed from the 2 tornadoes that hit Oklahoma city a few days ago. Here are some pictures of the GM plant that got hit.

Yep and if it sported a video card its gone too confused.gif

Bah i'll just settle with the Harddrive for now tounge.gif but man this must be looting season there for you folks since half the shops would be upside down if this thing hits a commercial block crazy.gif

All that we get here is small cyclonic tornadoes (might not even be classified as one but..) they look like one but they are pretty small and form randomly in the sand dunes occassionaly , i have seen some they dont have the muscle to do what these have done wow.gif
