		Tornadoes are known for being extremely destructive and are usually visible due to water vapor from clouds and debris from the ground.
		Tornadoes normally rotate in a cyclonic (counterclockwise) direction in the northern hemisphere, as the warm air in which thunderstorms usually form sweeps north and jet streams come from the west, creating a situation in which the storms rotate.
		Tornadoes do occur throughout the world as well; the most tornado-prone region of the world (outside North America), as measured by number of reported tornadoes per unit area, is the Netherlands, followed by the United Kingdom (especially England).

		A tornado extends down from a mass of dark clouds and moves in a very narrow path, with winds reaching speeds of up to 300 mph, the most violent winds that occur on earth.
		Tornadoes generally rotate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, and most follow a northeast course at about 10 to 20 mph.
		The tornado is at its largest in the mature stage, the funnel then decreases to a thin column in the shrinking stage.
