And as a thank you, they and their close friend, the Good Witch of the North, gave Dorothy the charmed Silver Shoes that the Witch had been wearing when the sun dried her up and turned her to dust.

But when the house killed her, the native Ozians of the east called the Munchkins were set free from her bondage. She had ruled the eastern quadrant of Oz known as the Munchkin Country. When the tornado deposited the house, it fell on top of the Wicked Witch of the East and killed her. There's a cyclone coming, Em, I'll go look after the stock." By Charles Santore. After the first few whirls around, and one other time when the house tipped badly, she felt as if she were being rocked gently, like a baby in a cradle." ― The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900)
It was very dark, and the wind howled horribly, but Dorothy found she was riding quite easily. In the middle of a cyclone the air is generally still, but the great pressure of the wind on every side of the house raised it up higher and higher, until it was at the very top of the cyclone and there it remained and was carried miles and miles away as easily as you could carry a feather. The north and south winds met where the house stood and made it the exact center of the cyclone. Dorothy felt as if she were going up in a balloon. The house whirled around two or three times and rose slowly through the air. Frank Baum's classic story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, in circa 1899-1900, one was responsible for transporting a little orphan girl named Dorothy Gale, and her pet dog, Toto, to the undiscovered magical Land of Oz while aloft in their farmhouse. It was reached by a trap door in the middle of the floor, from which a ladder led down into the small, dark hole. " There was no garret at all, and no cellar-except a small hole, dug in the ground, called a cyclone cellar, where the family could go in case one of those great whirlwinds arose, mighty enough to crush any building in its path. While tornadoes and cyclones are technically different phenomena according to meteorology, the Oz mythos tends to treat them interchangeably. They are the most violent and fatal of all atmospheric storms. Because wind is invisible, it is hard to see one unless it forms a condensation funnel made up of water droplets, dust, dirt, and debris. They are rather common in American states such as Kansas. It moves very, very fast in an uncoordinated circular motion across the land. It is a very large, massive and dangerously strong funnel that reaches from the sky and hundreds of miles down in length until it touches the ground.
The tornado (1900) " It really was no miracle what happened was just this: The wind began to switch, the house to pitch, and suddenly the hinges started to unhitch, just then the Witch! To satisfy an itch, went flying on her broomstick thumbing for a hitch! " ― Dorothy Gale (1939)Ī Tornado ( sometimes called a twister, whirlwind, or cyclone) is a violent and deadly rotating column of powerful air that is in contact with both the clouds of the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth, usually brought on by thunderstorms. "Run for the cellar! " ― The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) One glance told her of the danger close at hand. Aunt Em dropped her work and came to the door. "I'll go look after the stock." Then he ran toward the sheds where the cows and horses were kept. "There's a cyclone coming, Em," he called to his wife. There now came a sharp whistling in the air from the south, and as they turned their eyes that way they saw ripples in the grass coming from that direction also. " It's a twister! It's a twister! " ―Zeke (1939) " Oh Henry! Henry! I can't find Dorothy! She's somewhere out in the storm! Dorothy, Dorothy.! " ― Aunt Em (1939) " We must be up inside the cyclone! " ― Dorothy Gale (1939) " From the far north they heard a low wail of the wind, and they could see where the long grass bowed in waves before the coming storm.
