Tornadoes

 Tornadoes are one of Mother Nature’s most destructive forces and can come in all shapes and sizes. Rope tornadoes, which get their name from their rope-like appearance, are among the smallest and most common types of tornadoes. Most tornadoes begin and end their life cycle as a rope tornado before growing into a larger twister or dissipating into thin air. A stovepipe tornado is generally more dangerous than rope tornadoes as their paths tend to be wider, and can leave a larger trail of damage. Wedges are usually major tornadoes, and are given the rating of an EF-3 or higher. Wedge tornadoes have produced some of the most powerful and catastrophic tornadoes in history.
