An extremely powerful tornado struck parts of the southern, midwestern, and northeastern United States between April 25th and 28th, affecting over a dozen states from Alabama to New York. Tornados form when hot air mixes with cold air, causing large clouds and thunderstorms to develop with strong updrafts. These storms can be extremely destructive, killing people and destroying homes and towns, costing a significant amount of money to repair the damage. A tornado eventually weakens as surrounding cold air cuts off the warm air supply that fuels it, causing it to dissipate within minutes.

This is the dissapating stage, and the tornado often dissolves within minutes. During the dissapating stage the tornado becomes highly influenced by the direction of the surface winds, and can be blown into fantastic flexible patterns.
