Line 25:
** Not always. There's several ways that a tornado can form. The type known as a "landspout" is created as a storm cloud forms, before the storm itself, and is quite common in Kansas.
** Tornados form through a variety of ways, such as two wind masses of opposing temperatures collide, and the winds are sufficiently strong to maintain them for a time without collapsing. Storms usually create that strong of a wind, but any wind can reach that strength through other factors.
* The Munchkin soldiers have rifles. [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?|Why don't they just shoot the Wicked Witch of the West instead?]]
** You've been watching ''[[
*** It's not implausible that, being a witch, bullets have no effect on her, or she can at least defend against them. Water may be the Witch's only weakness.
** In the original books, people from Oz are immortal. You have to destroy someone ''really'' thoroughly to actually kill them, and even then it's not entirely clear. (So yes, the Wicked Witch theoretically might be spending eternity as a stain on the stone floor.) You can still be thoroughly damaged or hurt, but the rifles might not have done anything more than inconvenience the witch. As to why the Munchkin soldiers would have rifles if they couldn't kill anyone, it's because Oz works on the sort of wacky logic that says "Soldiers should have guns, so they have guns".
* What has the witch got against the Scarecrow? First time she shows up after Munchkinland she immediately attacks the Scarecrow. When the Witche's flying monkeys attack Dorothy and Toto are taken away and The Tin Man and Lion are unharmed... and the Scarecrow's in a million pieces on the ground. When they come to rescue her she chooses the Scarecrow as her first victim after she catches them escaping. And then there's the repeated threats of stuffing a mattress with him. She almost completely ignores the Cowardly Lion, despite being the easiest to scare, and does the same to the Tin Man after the first remark of turning him into a beehive. I mean really, the poor guy doesn't do anything worse than the other two and he gets all the punishment.
** He's the one with the most obvious, exploitable weakness. The only reason the Tin Woodsman's not in a million pieces is because the monkeys couldn't get him apart, and the Cowardly Lion ran away.
