How to reduce energy tornado?

[Гера�им]

I"am intrested in how to reduce energy tornado, that brings destraction and death. What there are methods of dealing with this disaster?

According to this page, the energy in a tornado is 3 x 10¹² J = 833 megawatt-hour. One megawatt-hour supplies power to 200 homes for an hour.

 

A tornado can overpower any technology we have today. The best we can do is hide in shelters.

Known tornado alley US, if you create the alley artificial lakes in order to reduce the force of a tornado?

Over lakes and the ocean, a tornado is called a water spout.

According to this page, the energy in a tornado is 3 x 10¹² J = 833 megawatt-hour. [...] A tornado can overpower any technology we have today.

3 x 10¹² J is only the energy that boils 1300t water, a cube of 11m side.

 

Wasting power is also easier than producing it. The liquid oxygen pump of an Rd-171 rocket engine absorbs 129MW in a D=409mm impeller:

so one D=10m impeller would absorb 77GW - have more impellers rotating faster to increase the power, and just dissipate the liquid pressure or speed through turbulence. 77GW are 3 x 10¹² J in 39s, intuitively more power than the tornado.

 

I've done my part, know you find out how to catch the tornado's power...

Some directions to reduce tornados or their damage:

 

- Paint the city white. Clearer than the surroundings.

- Seed convection before the tornados arrive.

- Have a permanent convection point outside the city

- Spread the city with cold water? White cold sand?

 

I'm pretty sure much has already been tried.

Build tornado resistant buildings or live under ground seem to be the only reasonable solutions but few want to live in a reinforced concrete dome or under ground...
