  When a tornado (龍卷風) destroys a house, it doesn't blow it down the way a hurricane (十二級臺風) does. It makes the house explode. Why does the house explode?

  The air that surrounds a house presses against it all the time. It usually has a force of about fifteen pounds per square inch. The air inside the house presses out against the walls just as hard. When a tornado passes over a house, it suddenly sucks away the air outside the house. The air inside the house still pushes out against the walls, but now there is nothing pushing back. So the walls are pushed out in an explosion.

  Pieces of the house are sucked up into the tornado and carried away. There is little left where the house once stood.
