Catawba rhododendron bushes can reach a height of 6'-8' with a spread of 4'-6'. Displays are most effective when rhododendron bushes are massed together. These are poisonous plants -- do not allow children to ingest any of the azaleas or rhododendrons.
Best Answer: Tornadoes are caused by winds. When a tornado forms the wind pressure around the tornado drops and that's what you see on the barometer, the pressure goes down.
In the middle latitudes, where most tornadoes of the world occur, the Rocky Mountains block moisture and buckle the atmospheric flow, forcing drier air at mid-levels of the troposphere due to downsloped winds, and causing the formation of a low pressure area downwind to the east of the mountains.
