The 30th Michigan tornado of the year was confirmed Sunday after an unwarned tornado struck north of Deckerville.

Maps of patterns of tornadogenesis, or the process by which a tornado forms, show that between 1951 and 1985, tornado formation peaked in northern Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.

Tornadogenesis: As the rotation stretches, a downward extension becomes a funnel cloud. As this spinning vortex strengthens, it could reach the ground.

The biggest, most expensive, tech-heavy effort to understand how and why tornadoes form begins next month. Pulling together truck-mounted radar, UAVs, wind meters bolted to car roofs, webs of ...

Surprisingly, some experiments have shown that low-frequency infrasound, with a frequency range of 1 to 10 Hz, is produced during tornadogenesis —the birth of a tornado—and the course of its life.

Tornadogenesis is a word used to describe the formation process of a funnel. Bruce Thoren, a forecaster at the National Weather Service, said that this process is still not fully understood.
