Misconception  of Tornadic Winds

Another misconception that is closely tied with the one described in slide 12 is that wind is confined to areas only INSIDE the visible funnel cloud. Generally speaking, the misconception is that the overpass bridge protects people underneath it by preventing the tornadic airflow from reaching the people.

A description of the situation much closer to reality is presented in slides 14 and 15.
