Terms and Conditions

The rules for using Tornado Hub, including educational use, emergency disclaimers, intellectual property, ads, affiliate links, and acceptable use.

By using Tornado Hub, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Educational use only

Tornado Hub provides weather education, simulations, history, safety explainers, games, and general preparedness information. It is not a live warning service, emergency authority, insurance adviser, engineering adviser, or government agency.

During dangerous weather, follow NOAA Weather Radio, Wireless Emergency Alerts, National Weather Service warnings, local emergency managers, and public safety officials.

Simulator and model limitations

The simulator and calculators are teaching tools. They use simplified assumptions and should not be used for emergency decisions, building design, insurance valuation, legal claims, or real-world damage prediction.

Acceptable use

Advertising and affiliate disclosure

The site may display advertising and may use affiliate links. Ads and affiliate relationships help fund the site, but they do not replace editorial judgment or official safety guidance.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, page text, site structure, custom tools, and original educational content belong to Tornado Hub or its contributors. You may link to pages and quote short excerpts with attribution.

External links

The site links to official weather sources, data providers, advertisers, affiliate partners, and other third-party pages. We are not responsible for third-party content, policies, or availability.

No warranties

The site is provided as-is. We try to keep information accurate and useful, but weather science, data, and external links can change. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access or error-free content.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site changes. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the updated terms.
