Though we have already witnessed the beginnings of supercells that turn into tornados, here we have a tornado that has come into form and made contact with the earth. Most tornados in the United States form in a region known as “Tornado Ally”, which includes areas such as Nebraska, Kansas, Northern Texas, eastern Colorado, and eastern South Dakota. Most tornados reach speeds of up to 110 miles per hour, can be 2.5 miles wide, and travel several miles until finally dissipating. Storm chasers take a lot of risks tracking these forces of nature in order to take the perfect picture of their size and strength.
