WIND SPEED                                                                                 WIND SPEED             

A tornado can get up to 300 mph! (miles per hour) Usually tornadoes don't go that high. But some do. They can be called a F-5. Some tornadoes are a F-5, but aren't 300 miles per hour. If you hear a tornado warning, you hardly have no time to run to your car and run away from the tornado. Trees will be crashing to the ground and powerlines, too will be falling to the ground. If a powerline that is connected to your house is broken, you won't have any power. If you don't have any power, you can't cook, use computers connected to plugs, use phones, tapes, CDs, videos, turn on lights, and turn on the oven. YOU CAN'T EVEN TURN ON WATER!! Tornadoes don't just to this. Hurricanes and earthquakes can also do that. 

Hurricane Mitch (story):

Hurricane Mitch was a pretty big hurricane as you see in the picture.

Hurricane Mitch was powerful. As it headed toward Mexico, it became a category five hurricane, killing up to 9,086 people. The powerful storm got weaker as it hit Mexico until it was a tropical depression. It became a tropical storm as it heading back into the ocean again but it stopped churning. It was the end of the hurricane. The hurricane happened in 1998. You have enough time to evacuate in a hurricane but not a tornado.
