A comma or period may just solve the problem!

Fun area. But a serious question.

What would happen if a, let´s say, F2 tornado travelled across a privat swimming pool. Would it suck up the water in one swallow ?

Thats brilliant :lol:

Imagine if...

FOX: We have reports of a tree which is crossing the Highway uprooting everything in its path and eyewitness accounts claim it uprooted a tornado while moving across the pasture...

I would guess no. There's really not much "suction" in a tornado as there are high winds rotating in a small area. Judging for footage of house being hit by a tornado, the homes aren't really "sucked up" (like in a vacuum), but rather blown by the wind. My guess... you may have some bulging water, but that would be mostly negated by the extreme winds rippling the water. Rather than having "upward suction," I'd guess you are more likely to see "outward spilling" from the winds.

There was one tornado report last year that said something like: "MAXIMUM WIDTH OF TORNADO WAS 150 YRS".

I think they meant yards.
