The mission of the "Why Files" is to "explore the issues of science, math, and technology that lurk behind the headlines of the day." Founded in 1996 as a project of the National Institute for Science Education with support from the National Science Foundation, and produced by the Graduate School of the University of Wisconsin, the files include this section, which provides background information on tornadoes, including an explanation of these phenomena and information on prediction, personal protection, and tornado effects on the natural landscape.
