National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) doppler radar studies have shown that wind speeds aloft in many tornadoes can exceed those inferred from ground damage surveys, highlighting the limits of current measurement methods. This research suggests that we need to better understand tornado strength and speed, information which could result in buildings that are better able to withstand these winds. Preparing buildings and communities for tornadoes could have far-reaching effects. Tornadoes can cause significant property damage, decimate buildings, and, in some cases, cause numerous fatalities.
