Can buildings be made tornado proof?

Strong Tornado-Resistant Wall System. Homes built with insulated concrete forms (ICF), like Fox Blocks, maintain their integrity during the high winds of a tornado. Insulating concrete forms can withstand winds of over 200 mph.

Can a tornado happen without clouds?

Tornadoes can occur without funnel clouds, as shown in this example from NSSL. Most likely, the pressure drop and lift in the tornado vortex was too weak to cool and condense a visible funnel; and/or the air below cloud base was too dry. Do volcanoes cause storms? This is no ordinary lightning storm. Volcanoes and lightning storms are awe-inspiring, fear-inducing feats of nature. Put them together and you have a truly terrifying event.

How are tornadoes and volcanoes alike?

Tornadoes and volcanoes have very little in common, but a few things they do have in common is that they are both natural disasters that are potentially deadly and destructive. Tornadoes usually have about the same shape as a volcano. Both are generally dangerous to go near. What does a volcano contain? Instead, volcanoes are built by the accumulation of their own eruptive products -- lava, bombs (crusted over ash flows, and tephra (airborne ash and dust). A volcano is most commonly a conical hill or mountain built around a vent that connects with reservoirs of molten rock below the surface of the Earth.

And another question, can you cook with lava?

If you're ever bored of barbecuing, scientists from Syracuse University in the US have come up with the perfect alternative for your next backyard get together: lava grilling. "Cooking with lava is simply the most spectacular way to grill a 10-ounce rib-eye steak," Bompas told Kara Manke over at NPR last year. Accordingly, does lava taste like marshmallows? It's hard to describe the taste of a lava-toasted marshmallow. If you bronze it gently, then it tastes like any other semi-molten marshmallow, but if you hold it closer for some light charring, the lava imparts a distinctively earthy flavour.
