Can a tornado cause damage without touching the ground?

Yes, a tornado can cause damage even if it doesn't touch the ground. Strong winds associated with a tornado can pick up debris and throw it at high speeds, leading to damage to structures and objects. Additionally, tornadoes can generate intense updrafts and downdrafts that can impact buildings and trees even without the funnel cloud actually touching down.


Does a tornado make contact with the ground?

Yes. If a tornadic vortex does not make contact with the ground it does not meet the defintion of a tornado, and is simply called a funnel cloud. If the violent circulation (not necessarily the visible funnel) reaches the ground it is considered a tornado.


What does BTI stand for in weather forecasting?

The new patent-pending Baron Tornado Index (BTI) introduces ground-breaking technology for tornado detection. With the BTI, each Baron SCIT (Storm Cell Identification Track) features a ranking on a 1-10 scale, rating the likelihood of a tornado within that storm. The color of affected shear markers changes from yellow to orange, then red, as the probability grows higher. Built on patent-pending and proprietary algorithms integrating radar data with the highest-resolution mesoscale models available, the Baron Tornado Index provides an easy, one-glance diagnosis of a storm's tornadic potential. the bearing tornado indicator is the chance of a tornado forming and/or touching down
