The effects on the Environment
A Tornado can cause massive amounts of
damge to trees tearing down entire forests
in its wake as well other plants
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
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
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
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
The effects on Humans
Many people prepare before hand
after being alerted of the coming tornado
gathering food and water and often try to
find shelter preferably underground
Houses, building and even small
towns are damaged or destroyed
with many buildings left a pile of
rubble after the onslaught of the
Tornado
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
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
