Santa Ana winds

Wisconsin Deer Stand The smell in the woods, the sounds of the trees as the wind blows through them. Ahead a steep ridge is filled with oaks, maples and elms. That have changed color already and their leaves are starting to fall. As they fall they hit other leaves going crunch. Then as acorn fall they go crashing down making a thud like a marble hitting the ground. From atop the ridge a slimy deer trail comes down, breaking into two trails that go opposite ways. There are fresh deer tracks from…

Narrative Joey woke up with a sigh of content. The wind carried the smell of pine into his open window. The rough grain oak of his roof seemed to grin down at him as he sat up and stared at the interior of his cabin. On the stone floor lay his dusty jacket, a few granola bar wrappers that dominated the south west corner of his cabin, and a sleeping dog with graying fur and white whiskers. “Aye Jack get up” Joey whispered to the old beast, “wake up and lets go play oe he was outside.” This…

develops below a heavy cumulonimbus cloud mass and extends toward the earth. The funnel twists about, rises and falls, and where it reaches the earth causes great destruction. The diameter of a tornado varies from a few feet to a mile; the rotating winds may attain velocities of 200 to 300 mi (320–480 km) per hr, and the updraft at the center may reach 200 mi per hr. The Enhanced Fujita scale is the standard scale for rating the severity of a tornado as measured by the damage it causes. A…

Waldeinsamkeit I first notice the sting of the crisp air as I filled my lungs with a breath. The wind was brushing my hair across my face; slightly blurring my vision. I walked along the grass path towards my horse, Ruby. His mane was knotted and had grown in length. His eyes were full of mystery and deep colors. The air smelled of rain. I slowly decreased the gap between us. I took leisurely steps towards him as my boots moved across the grass. His coat was thick and covered in mud,…

For instance, post-disaster response by everyday normal people following their human instinct to help others in need is one of the biggest challenges an emergency manager will face. While…

Snow is white and it is very cold and it falls from the sky in very small pieces. Snow is rain but the cloud that it forms in is very high in the sky and it is very cold there and it makes flakes. A blizzard can be caused by these snowflakes and the wind speeds are very high for a blizzard. It needs to be around 20 MPH for it to be a blizzard.If you catch snow it will melt in your hand very fast. If you put it in a ball and compact it, it will be a good tool for you to use to…
