Tornados, or twisters, are columns of air that spin violently, reaching speeds of over 420 km/h. They destroy crops and any houses or vehicles in their path. Tornadoes are rare in the UK, but one struck Kensel Rise, London, on 7 December 2006, damaging houses and cars. In the book and film of The Wizard of Oz (1939) Dorothy is carried by a tornado from her Kansas home to the magical land of Oz.
