Detection
Radar
The most advanced way of looking or spotting a tornado is by radar. When the rotation and circulation begin at a rapid pace and in a large radius, this likely informs us that it's a tornado. Measuring the wind velocity and radical direction, the radar informs the tornadoes path of destruction and where its heading, using radars, people in local towns are informed to evacuate. In some situations, tornadoes aren't readily spotted so it's easier to see the formations beginning rather than spotting its early stages. Radars can spot rotations in storms around 160 km away from its position.
Storm Spotters
Storm spotters are used to spot the key features of a storm such as hail, raging winds and the tornado itself. From time to time, storm spotters spot flash flooding and the damages from the storm itself. Storm spotters are often people of society who help local people such as sheriffs, ambulances, police, firefighters, storm chasers, civil defenses and local people themselves. When severe weathers, storm spotters are informed to report any signs of tornadoes or catastrophic storms.

Safety
- When a tornado has occurred, if possible go to the basement and hide under something hard such as table or have a mattress over you to protect yourself from the wreckage that can fall on you. Never go close to heavy objects and wear head protection like a helmet
- If you don't have a basement or apartment, go away from windows as it can scratch and hurt you and go into a small area room such as a bathroom or closet and crouch and cover your head with a mattress or blanket
- When you are outside find a sturdy place so you can hide and protect yourself. Follow the same steps as the ones above
- In school or office areas, follow the drills and go to a glass less area and crouch and cover your head
