Tornadoes

Tornadoes are violent and rapidly rotating columns of air that form inside thunderstorms that connect with the ground, via a funnel, to the cloud. From 1950-2014, over 700 tornado reports were made in Pennsylvania, and the state averages of over 20 reported tornadoes per year. Of those reported, 35 were recorded as EF3 (winds over 135 mph) or greater.
