We seem to hear more and more in the news about tornadoes these days. This hand illustrated book explains how these clouds reach down to touch the ground and become funnel shaped. This happens when ‘cold air meets warm air near the Earth’s surface.” There is information about some of the most severe tornadoes we’ve experienced and also information about how we watch for tornadoes and how we can protect ourselves from them. “There is no way to stop tornadoes. But you can be safe from them when you know what to do.”
