Tornado Activity - a photo on Flickriver

Tornado Activity

There were tornadoes forming on this late afternoon in
early February, but they were west, out over the Everglades.
Only lasted for a short time and they didn't do any damage
to our local area ~ sunset ~ Florida Everglades U.S.A.

******************************************************************************
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulus cloud. They are often referred to as twisters or cyclones. Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes, but they are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, whose narrow end touches the earth and is often encircled by a cloud of debris and dust. Most tornadoes have wind speeds less than 110 miles per hour, are about 250 feet across, and travel a few miles before dissipating. The most extreme tornadoes can attain wind speeds of more than 300 miles per hour, stretch more than two miles across, and stay on the ground for dozens of miles.
