Tornadoes, or twisters, are more common in the United States than in any other country, and there are as many as 1,200 a year. Scientists studying the damage they cause have come to the conclusion that they can travel at over 330km per hour.

Storm chasing is an increasingly popular phenomenon. It is when people travel to watch twisters and storms. There is now a documentary series which follows storm chasers

as they pursue and film tornadoes in an area called Tornado Alley.

On a recent radio show a woman described seeing the twister outside her door and being unable to reach the shelter. She was in her home with her three children at the time. The tornado lifted the house from its foundations and carried it for over one mile. She described the experience as floating like an astronaut. But, her youngest son slept in bed the whole time. Miraculously, the house landed and nobody was hurt.
