The Tri State Tornado include many details common to tornados and caused damage and destruction to property and lives that affected the region, but the area has recovered in its aftermath. The tri state tornado had many common details to normal tornados. Like almost all the tornados in the northern heamspear it turned counterclockwise. It had normal wind speeds for EF5 of 216.…
The two Hurricanes are very alike in many ways yet they are very different. The two hurricanes, Harvey and Katrina, both included flooding and they were not expected to do as much damage as they did, there was not proper evacuation for either hurricane. It is believed that both hurricanes were made…
Katrina vs. Harvey According to NASA, hurricanes are the most violent storms on Earth. Most of them, as reported by the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center, hit during the peak of hurricane season, which is between August and October on both the Atlantic and the Eastern Pacific coasts. The two most memorable hurricanes—Katrina and Harvey—made their landfall in the United States in August. In addition to this, the two hurricanes share many other similarities and differences.…
Great Galveston Hurricane A hurricane is a storm that forms over warm ocean waters. At this point, the storm is called a tropical despression storm. If wind speed reaches 39 miles per hour or greater, the storm is then classified as a tropical storm. If wind speeds continue to increase to 74 miles per hour, the tropical storm then changes classifications to be called a hurricane.…
Winds can be more than 100 miles per hour. Also, hurricanes have a clinic eye which is very . In the same way, hurricanes also have very strong winds. Tornadoes have a cyclonic suction wind funnels which are formed by warm water vapor and cold rain. Like wise, hurricanes are also formed by warm water but from the coast of Africa.…
A hurricane is defined as being a, “rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or subtropical waters and has a closed low-level circulation” (“Tropical”). Hurricanes need many factors to help develop from a simple storm to a tropical storm and from a tropical storm to a hurricane. They need warm sea surface temperatures, low atmospheric winds, and a rotating area of air to form these storms (Gray, 1994). Hurricanes start when the atmospheric pressure is lower than the pressure around it. This change in pressure evaporates water from the ocean and creates the clouds and storms that we know as hurricanes (Gray, 1994).…
Once a tropical disturbance starts to whip into shape and gain wind speed up to twenty-five and thirty-eight miles per hour, the tropical disturbance becomes known as a tropical depression( "Hurricanes, Typhoons, and Cyclones..."). After wind speeds have reached thirty-nine miles per hour, the tropical depression is upgraded to a tropical storm( "Hurricanes, Typhoons, and Cyclones..."). Finally, the tropical storm becomes a hurricane after its wind speeds have exceeded seventy-four miles per hour( "Hurricanes, Typhoons, and Cyclones..."). To sum up, hurricanes, without a doubt, are…
The first couple of signs for a storm is it goes from light rain to heavier rain and then to hail. Some tornadoes that you might know is the Andover tornado in 1991, Oklahoma tornado in 1999, and the South Dakota in 1884. There are still a whole lot more but that is only a…
Hurricanes Hurricanes are monstrous, large, swirling storms, with huge and strong winds. They are one of nature’s most deadly beauties, which that can blow up to 252 km pr hour(157 mph or more) which is similar to the speed of some high-speed trains. The storms form over warm ocean waters while also able to strike land. When the hurricane reaches land, it will push a wall of water ashore. That water is called a storm surge, and along with the rain, the hurricane can also cause some deadly floods.…
Hurricanes can cause big waves that can cause flooding. Tornadoes Many layers, of the tornado go in many different directions and speeds. Between these layers a column of air starts spinning like a log rolling on its side.…
A hurricane is an intense storm with very high winds. It is characterized by how fast its winds speeds are and how bad the storm is (“Hurricane.”). There were four category 5 Hurricanes in 2005, the most that were in record for an Atlantic hurricane season, and Hurricane Katrina was one of them. Hurricane Katrina was a very disastrous event that occurred in New Orleans. The hurricane was a very effective one but not as effective as Hurricane Sandy.…
Some tornadoes can look the same but they do not cause the same damages even though the weakest tornadoes may kill. Examples of this fact is the report of tornadoes between 1997 and 2005 which states 3 people were killed by F0 tornadoes and 38 by F1 tornadoes in the United States. F0 tornadoes cause superficially damages to structures and the environment. The conventional building cannot be damage too much if the building is well constructed. This building…
Hurricanes and tornadoes are formed slightly different, but the categories they are both put into and the precipitation…
Hurricanes and tornadoes are two storms that can cause an enormous destruction in towns. This storms are similar to each other, but have different factor on the way they form, how long they last, how strong the winds are, when do they occur, and what are the warning sings. First of all, tropical cyclones are known by different names depending where in the world it occurs, for example, in North and Central America on the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean the storms are called hurricanes. Before it becomes a hurricane it has to pass through three stages. It starts out as a tropical disturbance because according to Wall and MSFC “hurricanes form over warm ocean water” and rain clouds start to form.…
What starts off as a minor storm in the ocean can become a killer by the time it reaches land. Hurricanes are a cause of nature that leaves effects all over the world. Whether it be the death of loved ones, a lost home, losing a job, or losing a school, hurricanes affect everyone in the area they enter. Hurricanes are a force of nature and cannot be stopped. The only thing people can do when a hurricane is going their way is to leave and hope for the best.…
