Tornado is a very strong atmospheric vortex phenomenon, which often occurs in thunderstorm weather in summer. The scope of influence is not very large, but it is extremely destructive and harmful. If a person is inhaled into a tornado, the most direct thing is to faint on the spot, and turn around on the flat ground for a few times and feel very dizzy. Then, due to the huge wind speed, air pressure and other factors, the huge air pressure difference will cause people to explode directly and the water will evaporate immediately.

Tornadoes occur in some places with frequent thunderstorms, such as the United States, Australia, Canada and other places, but the area with the most tornadoes is the United States, with more than 1200 tornadoes every year, mostly in March-June. These tornadoes are very violent. Where the tornado passed, houses collapsed, crops were destroyed and vehicles took off, causing serious economic losses to people.

When encountering a tornado, please don't panic and take shelter immediately. You should open some windows indoors, but not all of them. Go to a small house or basement as much as possible, and put your head in your hands. If you have enough time to escape, you must leave the area affected by the tornado quickly, and don't put yourself in danger because of curiosity.
