VI. Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are True or False
 Kansas is known for many things – wheat, sunflowers, etc. and tornadoes! What famous
story set in Kansas features a tornado?
The Wonderful Wizards of Oz, by L. Frank Baum, tells the story of Dorothy, who gets
caught in a Kansas tornado and lands in the imaginary land of Oz. This story has been
dramatized on stage and film. You might have seen the movie version, which stars Judy Garland
as Dorothy.
Tornadoes are storms with rapidly rotating winds that form a funnel cloud. Also known as
“twisters”, they extend downward from the huge clouds of a serve thunderstorm. The winds that
rotate within a tornado usually reach a speed of almost 300 miles per hour! A tornado often
sweeps through an area quickly, but it can cause considerable destruction. There have been a
number of remarkable reports of tornadoes. In one instance, a schoolhouse was demolished while
the 85 students originally inside it were carried more than 400 feet with none killed. There was
also a case of five railway coaches, each weighing 70 tons, lifted from their tracks.
