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

Specifically, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 16, 1919) sets the scene by introducing the harshness and precariousness of farm life on the Kansas prairies. 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.
