A tornado is a violently rotating column of air which is in contact
with both a cumulonimbus (or, in rare cases, cumulus) cloud base
and the surface of the earth. Tornadoes can come in many shapes,
but are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel,
with the narrow end touching the earth. Often, a cloud of debris
encircles the lower portion of the funnel. Most tornadoes have
winds of 110 mph (175 km/h) or less, are approximately 250 feet (75
meters) across, and travel a few miles (several kilometers) before
dissipating. However, some tornadoes can have winds of more than
300 mph (480 km/h), be more than a mile (1.6 km) across, and stay
on the ground for dozens of miles (more than 100 kilometers). They
have been observed on every continent except Antarctica; however,
most of the world's tornadoes occur in the United States. Other
areas which commonly experience tornadoes include New Zealand,
western and southeastern Australia, south-central Canada,
northwestern and central Europe, Italy, south-central and eastern
Asia, east-central South America, and Southern Africa. 
This cache is in a
City park. It is in a part of the park that most people have
never payed much attention to. In 1999 and again in 2003,
tornadoes ripped threw this area causing much damage. There is
still alot of evidence of these tornadoes at the cache
location, so be careful. The container is a large coffee can,
with lots of swag to trade with. Please try and park in the
designated area, not on the side of the entrance road.
