Tornadoes are the most violent storms on Earth, with wind velocities that can exceed 200 miles per hour. How do these terrifying cyclones form? Meteorologist James Spann sheds light on the lifespan of tornadoes as they go from supercell thunderstorms to terrible twisters before eventually dissolving back into thin air.

For anyone who doesn't know the narrator is James Spann also known in Birmingham Alabama as Spann the Man. He is one of the best meteorologists in the United States and when the super tornado outbreak happened on April 27th 2012 he saved thousands of lives (including mine and my husbands) that day by tracking dozens of tornados that were down simultaneously throughout the state. He stayed on the air for over 12 hours that day. This year we had a tornado and he realized on the air that the tornado was headed directly towards his house where his wife was. He stepped out long enough to call and make sure she was safe and came back to continue reporting. He stepped out 20 minutes later to find out that his wife was safe but their house was badly damaged. The man did not stop until the state was in the clear. He's a hero in Alabama and just an all around great man. If your ever in Alabama especially around Birmingham and you try and say something mean about James Spann be prepared for a fight. We're very protective of him around here.

@@lennyface5540 We now know that many if not most tornadoes actually start at ground level. They don't descend out of the storm. This was directly observed with mobile radar and synchronized video on the 2013 El Reno, OK tornado, and is also assumed to be the default mode for non-supercell tornadoes, which stretch pre-existing rotation at the surface. Since the parent updraft is already "surface based", it doesn't need to establish a connection to the ground like the video suggests. Instead, tubes of vertical vorticity are flowing into the storm along a boundary and are amalgamated into a larger vortex below the storm's updraft. When the surface based updraft occludes and contracts, the vortex is stretched, momentum is preserved, and the speed of the flow increases. There's no magic moment where the tornado "touches down". The vortex just continuously increases in intensity at the surface until it starts kicking up dust and debris. That the funnel cloud appears to descend is misleading. It's actually being built downward from below as the pressure continues to drop in the updraft column, which already extends from the surface into the storm's base. To be honest, this whole video should be redone lol.

i know this is an old comment, but yes this video needs updating. tornadoes are caused by wind moving in different directions at different altitudes (wind shear). put a toilet paper roll between your hands (parallel to the floor) and move your hands in opposing directions. the paper roll represents the horizontal tube of air created by wind shear. with proper conditions, warm air entering this system will cause an updraft and take the horizontal shaft created by the wind shear and make it vertical. this elongates the tube of air as it's pushed upwards, and so it begins to spin even more rapidly (imagine pulling in your arms to your body as an ice skater does). conventional wisdom, and everyone on quora, will tell you tornadoes descend from the clouds, but it's simply not true, but the vertical column formed at or near ground level "pulling" the condensation funnel can give that appearance.

Meteorologists depend on storm chasers to give them additional information on tornados while those things are on the ground. The storm chasers can observe the locations and actions of the storms and then relay the information back to the meteorologists. In turn, the meteorologists help the storm chasers by telling them what to watch out for regarding the conditions that can spawn twisters. It's a great partnership. 🌪👍😁

Tornados are not the only things that can result from a supercell. They usually form in low air pressure. However there is something called an anticyclone which rotates in the opposite direction as a tornado and looks sort of like an upside down tornado. These form when the air pressure is high.

My town was in a storm like that once. Three tornados in one night. One destroyed all the big, heritage trees in town, among other typical damage, like broken windows, crushed vehicles, powerlines on the ground. My trampoline ended up three houses down the block, in someone else’s yard. Another tornado took out a wall on my grandpa’s new quonset, but left the adjacent old, rickety barn perfectly fine. The last one destroyed everything on my friend’s farm, except for a tiny little lodge they set up for visitors. I particularly remember the next morning, there was an incredible sense of community as everyone helped clean up.

Nice video. In a supercell tornado one gets rotating rising hot air on the outside and falling rotating cold air on the inside. A good way to mix hot air with cold air. Also they form ground up and cloud down, although most of the time we only notice the cloud bit. It is bits like draining a plastic bottle with water. It is quicker to swirl the water out and let the air in. Tornados die when the cold air in the cloud warms up sufficiently to no longer sustain the vortex.

The tornado on screen is rotating clockwise which would make it an anti-cyclonic tornado in the northern hemisphere

3:03 GIANT FALSE HERE. When debris is spotted underneath what would be a funnel (this could legit just be dust). Only then would it be a tornado.

I remember watching a video of a man chasing a tornado. I am not entirely sure that he was the one chasing it, but I was so scared, I started crying for him and hoping he and his friends would live. Luckily he did.

Waiting always watching to see if the parent storm Drops it’s long rope again it’s very important to factor when it comes to storm chasing especially if you’re a beginner in the last 25 years majority of all tornadoes have had the characteristics of spawning another tornado from the same supercell After the previous one has been pulled up

This is incorrect..the rising columns of air are not warm air currents they are actually cold air. We fed all these parameters into a supercomputer and it told us we have been wrong about warm air being the driving force.

Hey just wondering: what will happen if we slide in a huge fan like the size of a football field to disable the cloud formation or a huge vacuum machine to suck up the clouds formed? Is it even possible?
@MonstrotousM666
@MonstrotousM666 9 жыл бұрын
You'd need a fan the size of a thousand football fields to make any kind of difference. What would probably be easier is detonating an atomic bomb inside the mesocyclone.
