    Tornadoes are violent rotating columns of air that extend from thunderstorms to the ground. They can reach wind speeds up to 300 mph and cause destruction over a mile wide and 50 miles long by destroying large buildings, uprooting trees, and hurling vehicles. Around 1000 tornadoes typically occur each year in the central US, known as Tornado Alley, which includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and other states due to weather patterns that can spawn tornadoes. Tornadoes can also occasionally occur in other areas like England, as demonstrated by a tornado that touched down in Barking, London in June 2021 which destroyed houses and caused flooding.
