Thunderstorm

Thousands of tornadoes have ripped through the United States over recent history. The EF5 tornado that occurred in Joplin, Missouri happens to be the most expensive tornado on record. Tornadoes occur during some severe thunderstorms; winds spiral horizontally, then turn vertically, a funnel cloud forms which ends up reaching the ground, which is the tornado. Some tornadoes can be minor while others can cause dozens of deaths and millions, if not billions, of dollars in damage. Winds can reach…

Violent Winds A ballistic missile of debris and wind speeds through the fields on a hail of destruction. A earthquake can swallow the world, and acid rain can strip nature of its beauty. The high swirling wind in a large rain cloud is a tornado. In order for one to comprehend and get ready for a tornado, it is essential to know how a tornado shapes, where a tornado occurs, and how one can stay before and during a tornado. To begin with, tornadoes can form in places like the Great Plains also…

and differences of these two natural phenomena. You may be asking; “What causes a tornado or hurricane? They can’t just pop up out of thin air.” Cyclones have to have extremely precise circumstances to form. Tornadoes can actually spawn from thunderstorms, as the warm air rises into the cold air to create a dangerous reaction: a tornado. Hurricanes also need heat to survive and thrive, as they form within warm, coastal waters. Once formed, they both spin counterclockwise within the Northern…

ground. Tornadoes can destroy large buildings, uproot trees, kill a lot of living things, and hurl large a objects like vehicles hundreds of yards. You can't see tornadoes at first. They are clear until they pick up water or dirt. They form during thunderstorms. They form when warm, moist air and cold,dry air meet, they create an instability in the atmosphere.

Background and overview: Tornados are one of the most damaging atmospheric hazards as they reach incredible wind speeds and cause great damage that is beyond repair. In the USA, on average, 60 people die each year from tornados. This is usually from falling or flying debris. 1.1 DESCRIPTION Tornados can be casually described as a cylinder spinning with a Smokey colour to it from the ground damage or other that is trapped inside the cylinder.

Karli started to get very nervous. The tornado was expected very soon. Leo and Karli drove to where the tornado is expected to start. On the way there it became very windy. But they had to keep driving. Leo and Karli started talking and then both of them heard whooshing winds. So they sped up the car and when they finally arrived they had no extra time because of the rain and wind. So Karli put on her shoes as fast as she could “Karli, it's time for you to save this town for the second time.”…

A thunderous exclamation is more pronounced than a timid chime. When there is a thunderstorm, the rumbling vibrations echoing the skies is usually more petrifying than the clashing lights filling the clouds. When a mother scolds a child, the way her voice fumes and heightens make the hair of a child’s arms rise. When a person is terrorized by another, it is not the expression of a livid face that ceases the occurrence, but the sound of a voice that wants to be heard. A craven characteristic can…

The Great Storm There was once a historic fight between the greek wind god and the sea god, which resulted in the creation of the natural disaster we now call hurricanes. The people would explain the great storm (hurricanes) as a fight or argument with the wind and the water god back in the Greek times. The argument first started with who would be able to do what? For example, who would create the storms and control over them?, or who would the storm go where? This ended in a argument against…

It is pouring rain and you are numb cold. Your face is grim. Thunder and lightning crack across the sky. Your hear a sound, louder than the thunder. A cannon flies through the air and with a thunderous sound, crashes down on the mud and dirt before you. You are safe, the walls of the earthworks you had helped build earlier are still holding together. You see another cannon fly through the air towards you, but the effect is no different. The walls are sturdy, they can be torn down by the cannons,…

Colin Powell once said, “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work”. In the story Hatchet, 13-year old Brian Robeson truly understands the meaning of determination. Brian was on a plane to visit his father in Canada.
