Natural catastrophes is what the twister symbolizes in "The Wizard of Oz."

It is clear from Uncle Henry's and Aunt Em's reactions that cyclones are common worries and environmental stresses. Uncle Henry explains that he is going to check on the cows and horses. Aunt Em directs Dorothy to get under cover in the cellar. The reader can tell that this is a frequent routine for the Gale family.
