Tornadoes: Don’t Mess Around with Tornadoes

Tornadoes are spontaneous, destructive vortexes of air that descend to the Earth during particular atmospheric conditions.  The occur in the United States more than any other country but develop all over the world.  Weather agencies work in tandem with local governments to broadcast tornado watches and tornado warnings.  
They can be quit powerful but even the relatively weak ones are dangerous and life threatening.  Their high winds collect debris distribute them in random directions.  They can cause a great deal of damage to buildings, homes, and vehicles.  

I had to go through so many tornado drills when I lived in Texas years ago

They are bad in Texas! Hot and flatland.

What happened to Matt Suter when the tornado hit?
 
 
He survived after being swept up inside a tornado. One of the tornadoes swept Matt Suter up and threw him nearly a quarter mile from his grandmother's home in Fordland, Missouri. Suter woke up in a grassy field sometime later after being thrown over a barbed wire fence.
