What makes tornadoes start?

I wonder...
what makes tornadoes start?
For a tornado to start warm air and cold air mix together which makes a funnel.
The funnel comes down from a thundercloud.
It spins so fast that it can suck up things from the ground  Tornadoes are very dangerous and can do a lot of damage to peoples houses. They can also do a lot of damage to the land and to the animals.
Tornadoes can appear from any direction. Most move southwest, to northeast, or west to east.

A tornado can rip a house into shreds.
When a tornado is coming people are in danger!!! People panic when they hear or know that a Tornado is coming.

People who live where there are tornadoes have ways to keep safe.
During a storm, people can listen to weather reports to see if tornadoes have been seen by other people.

Some scientists study tornadoes. They try find out when they are going to happen. They look for big thunderclouds that could become a tornado. The scientists can warn people if a tornado is coming.

The Tornadoes will often stop in about two or three hours. For a tornado to stop the worm air and cold air separate and the thundercloud will disappear in a few minutes.

How school was 100 hundred years ago

100 years ago would make it 1915. They taught  subjects like maths, and reading/writing, pretty much what we do now, only less. The tables were wooden and they sat on wooden benches. There were no whiteboards and no chalkboards used. 

The room had no air conditioning and maybe 2 windows that opened. There were no movies, no VCR, no DVDs, no computers, no phones and their playground equipment was a swing made of rope and a tyre. 

High school was just starting so  they had school buses. The classrooms look a lot different from our class rooms now.

I Wonder What Happend To The Animals During The War?

Animals do not remember memories but the people who love there pets do. Those who were ordinary people usually kept there pets for company. 

Pets were in a lot of accidents during the war. The people who saved the pets took them to animal welfare charities. Some animals were lost and ended up as strays. Some animals went to people for company and safety. 

One story talks about a dog who got saved by a person who loved his pet when during the war the building that the dog was in got bombed.
