Tornadoes can cause severe damage by producing strong winds that result in destruction of buildings, uprooting trees, and hurling debris. They can also pose a threat to human lives by causing injuries and fatalities. Additionally, tornadoes can disrupt infrastructure and result in widespread power outages and other consequences for communities in their path.
The 3 general categories of tornadoes are weak tornadoes (EF0 and EF1), strong tornadoes (EF2 and EF3), and violent tornadoes (EF4 and EF5). These categories are based on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which rates tornado intensity based on the damage they cause.
Tornadoes are often referred to simply as "tornadoes" or "twisters."
The plural of tornado is tornadoes.
Both spellings, "tornadoes" and "tornados," are generally accepted and commonly used. However, "tornadoes" is more widely recognized and preferred in formal writing and scientific contexts.

It depends on what you mean by extreme. Tornadoes of EF4 and EF5 tornadoes, however are often referred to as violent tornadoes. These account for about 1% of all tornadoes.
Tornadoes don't get named, Hurricanes do, but Tornadoes don't.
Florida frequently has tornadoes, though several states have more tornadoes annually.
No. Tornadoes are dangerous.
Yes, some strong tornadoes create brief satellite tornadoes that circle the main funnel.
Antarctica is the continent that does not have tornadoes. Tornadoes typically form over land, so the cold and uninhabited nature of Antarctica makes it unlikely for tornadoes to occur there.
Yes. There are tornadoes in Turkey. Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere.
Landforms do not create tornadoes. Tornadoes are a product of severe thunderstorms.
Tornadoes are often referred to simply as "tornadoes" or "twisters."
There is nothing to be "done" about tornadoes. Tornadoes are a natural weather event.
