Book Guide

The air is hot and still. The sky darkens. Thunder rumbles and lightning flashes. A funnel-shaped cloud reaches toward the ground. TORNADO ALERT!

A tornado is a powerful storm. A big tornado can destroy everything in its path—lift a car off the ground or a roof off a house. A big tornado can travel for miles and last several hours before it blows itself out.

Learn all about tornadoes, from how, where, and when they occur, to what to do keep safe if one strikes.
