Tornadoes of 2025

Imagine a giant, invisible hand spinning super fast! That's kind of like a tornado. In 2025, these spinning wind monsters showed up in lots of places around the world. They love to form during big, stormy weather. Sometimes they are so strong they can pick up cars and even houses! It's like nature's wildest rollercoaster, but you definitely don't want to ride it.

Tornadoes are born from super big thunderstorms. When warm, wet air meets cool, dry air, it can get really mixed up! This mixing makes the air spin, and if it spins fast enough, it can stretch down from the clouds like a long, wobbly rope.

In 2025, these spinning ropes appeared in places like the United States, China, and even far-off lands like Brazil and Spain. They are like nature's way of showing off its power.

Get this! In 2025, there was a tornado so powerful it was called an EF5. That's the strongest kind! It was the first EF5 since 2013. This super-twister happened in a place called North Dakota. There were also lots of other really strong tornadoes, seven of them were rated EF4 or higher. That's like having seven super-duper strong wind monsters all in one year!

Tornadoes don't usually come alone. They often bring their friends: super strong winds that can blow things around, and big, heavy hailstones that are like ice balls falling from the sky. In 2025, these stormy friends helped make tornadoes even more exciting, and sometimes a little scary. It's important to know about them so we can stay safe when they visit.
