Many times during our long history weather determined the way of our lives and in the times of climate changes nature still more and more assigns happening in the world. One of the most violent storms on Earth are tornadoes. Tornado, as it defines The National Weather Service, is violently rotating column of air, which is at the same time in contact with the ground. Every tornado rises from a thunderstorm, and then if also other basic conditions are right, then this thunderstorm changes into the tornado. In the US there is the most endangered area from Texas to Nebraska, but tornadoes can occur also in other parts of US & it all depends on conditions mentioned higher. In January 2008 an enormous number of tornadoes hit the area of Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, some of them were also confirmed in Wisconsin, Arkansas, Illinois and other states. Tornado which hit Appleton totally damaged house and killed one man, while his wife was injured. Three other people were almost killed by tornado while they were sitting in their truck which started spinning because of the strong winds of tornado. In other state & Indiana 2 children died when the car which was driving by their mother stalled on a flooded road. I mention only few examples what tornado can cause. In most cases this violent storms have the same results & loss of lives, damaged houses, cars, trees and roads, and what is worse they have the biggest impact on economy. Some of these impacts does not have to happen if people know what to do when the tornado hits their area. The first step is to find some safe shelter, and do it as soon as possible & best before the tornado comes. Another important thing are emergency supplies & always have them near. If tornado already hit our area and we do not have a time to run away we should go to our shelter which should be basement, storm cellar or some other lowest level of building. Then we should try to protect ourselves using anything what is near like furniture but also use our hands to protect head and neck. There is lot of things which a man in danger can do to protect himself & but the easiest way how to save a life is to know what to do. And in these days characterized by technology, Internet connection and daily news it should not be a problem.
