tornadoes are extreme weather events . like hurricanes and typhoons, it is the hight winds that cause damage. tornadoes usually occur in the spring and early summer. sometime , they appear when the weather is calm, but usually they occur on windy days. the weather usually becomes very cloudy and rainy right before a tornado. when people hear that a tornado is coming , the best place to go is below ground. this is because a tornado can destroy a building and everything in it. one of the worst places to be is in a car. a very strong tornado can throw a car about a half mile.
there is one group of people who love tornadoes. they are called storm chasers. when they see a tornado on a weather report they drive toward the tornado. they take photos and videos to sell to new and tv companies. however, this is a very dangerous job. recently , one of the most famous storm chasers died.
