Page "Tornado" Paragraph 87

Folklore often identifies a green sky with tornadoes, and though the phenomenon may be associated with severe weather, there is no evidence linking it specifically with tornadoes.

It is often thought that opening windows will lessen the damage caused by the tornado.

While there is a large drop in atmospheric pressure inside a strong tornado, it is unlikely that the pressure drop would be enough to cause the house to explode.

Some research indicates that opening windows may actually increase the severity of the tornado's damage.

A violent tornado can destroy a house whether its windows are open or closed.
