A tornado is a tube of air that touches both the ground and a cloud.
Tornadoes are sometimes called twisters.
Most tornadoes have wind speeds less than 100 miles per hour.
Really big tornadoes can hit wind speeds of over 300 miles per hour.
The States hit by tornadoes the most are Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Florida.
The USA has about 1,200 tornadoes every year.
Basements and other places under the ground are the safest places to be during a tornado. It is also a good idea to stay away from windows.
