Tornado and high winds are some of the most destructive forces of nature. While tornadoes are frequent in the Great Plains, South, and Midwest, there is no state in the country that isn’t at risk. As the nation’s largest property insurer, State Farm wants to make sure you and your family are prepared for the destructive and potentially deadly force of a tornado.
This month alone state farms has made it their goal to give us information, about protecting not only ourselves but loved ones. In case of an emergency at least you will have all the information you need to know what to do if there is a tornado. State farms tells you what to do and where to go and so many helpful things.
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. They are often referred to as twisters or cyclones, although the word cyclone is used in meteorology, in a wider sense, to name any closed low pressure circulation. Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes, but they are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, whose narrow end touches the earth and is often encircled by a CLOUD of debris and dust. Most tornadoes have wind speeds less than 110 miles per hour (177 km/h), are about 250 feet (76 m) across, and travel a few miles

I appreciate this up date on State Farm-- We have it, and wouldn't have anything else as an insurance for the homeowner. And tornados, we have had them touch down right in our yard-- we live in Southern Idaho. Took our fence down and knocked out a tree. But that was all. We have seen worse around here.
