0 a strong, dangerous wind that forms itself into an upside-down spinning cone and is able to destroy buildings as it moves across the ground --
1 a dangerous storm which is a spinning cone of wind that destroys anything in its path as it moves across the ground --
We can do nothing about natural forces—cyclones, hurricanes, tornadoes, drought and so on.
A tornado is not a danger in itself, it is only dangerous if it comes in contact with something else.
We must not assume that tornadoes will not hit this country.
We tend to be a little complacent about natural disasters because we are mercifully spared the appalling horrors of volcano, flood, hurricane and tornado.
Equation (44)could serve as a starting point for the study of tornadoes.
The same solution family may model the opposite case, when a tornado placed over a water surface drives the ocean motion in the meridional structure shown in figure 12.
The vortex line is an idealization of some real source of motion, for example, a rotating needle or tornado core.
The work suggests an explanation for the eventual dissipation of meteorological flow systems such as tornadoes.
