Questions:
1. Why would people choose to live in Tornado Alley? Would you choose to live there (if you don't already)?
2. Do you think improved building codes would help lessen property loss during a tornado (see the Fujita Scale printed below)? What would you have to do to make a building "tornado proof"?
3. Would a ban on mobile homes in tornado-prone areas be a good idea or a bad one? Who would it affect and how?
4. Use the Fujita Scale printed below to determine what would happen to your community should an F-5 tornado go through the main business district in your community. Assume the tornado is moving at 60 mph and is on the ground for six minutes. The funnel is 1/8 mile across.
