Tornado By Joshua Whitaker-Lockwood Image from:http://magazine024.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/slender-tornado_378_600x450.jpg

The effects on Humans

The Tornado can completely obliterate crops and destroy the soil they were grown on creating a food shortage forcing farmers to raise their prices for food to make up for their losses

People are often killed or injured by objects hurled out of the Tornado such as trees, cars or chuncks of buildings

With many people being injured it can prevent others who are injured perhaps more so from getting into hospital sometimes causingthem to die while they are waiting

Houses, building and even small towns are damaged or destroyed with many buildings left a pile of rubble after the onslaught of the Tornado

Many people prepare before hand after being alerted of the coming tornado gathering food and water and often try to find shelter preferably underground

The effects on the Environment

Animals that could have migrated away from the area before the tornado return to find their natural habitats destroyed and no food in sight being forced to move or starve to death

Objects such as trees or rocks can be picked up by the Tornado and flung back out at incredible speeds sometimes hitting other trees and knocking them down as well or hitting the earth itself cleaving large chunks of soil from the ground

Tornados can pick up alot of loose dirt ruining the soil for plants to grow resulting in the area becoming dry and useless for anything with most of the grass torn up in the process

Many animals can often be killed if they are not quick enough to get away before it hits and if they just injured they usually die anyway as no kind of doctor would be able to get to the area let alone work in it

A Tornado can cause massive amounts of damge to trees tearing down entire forests in its wake as well other plants
