Tornado

there are all sorts of watches for a tornado and a hurricane. The watches for a tornado are 1 or 2 hours ahead of time before it is about to hit. If there’s a tornado there would be a loud sound and it warns you to get out of the area the tornado is coming at. If there is a tornado seek shelter immediately! If I heard that alarm I would run as far away as I can or I would seek shelter. I saw a tornado watch for Barboursville and the…

Spring time in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma is notorious for producing disastrous and deadly tornado outbreaks. The aftermath of just one super cell tornado can devastate an entire city, but a line of multiple tornados forming and wreaking havoc across the state all at once adds challenges for emergency managers. 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…

few F-2s and one F-3. April 28th had 47 confirmed touch downs and three people lost their lives to a single F-3 tornado in Virginia. Finally, after four days of terror and destruction, the supercell moved over the Atlantic Ocean where it eventually dissipated. There were many similarities in the four days of the tornado outbreak. One of the most important is that almost every tornado had at least some form of warning. National Weather Services did they best they could to forecast and give…

of a tornado? The first topic I will be telling you about is the F scale. Did you know the person who invented the F scale went to the University of Chicago. The second topic is about tornadoes and about 1,200 tornadoes hit the U.S. each year. My final topic is over storm chasers. I learned that storm chasers park southeast of the tornado because usually it is the safest place to park. There are two different types of scales.The F scale was developed by Dr. Theodore Fujita. After the tornado…

Introduction A tornado is known as a destructive vortex of violently rotating winds and having the appearance of a funnel-shaped cloud. Unlike hurricanes, tornadoes are very unpredictable. A Fujita scale (F-Scale) rates the intensity of a tornado. On March 18, 1925 the “Tri-State Tornado” killed 695 people and injured more than 2,000. It was recorded the top deadliest tornado in U.S. history. The tornado was rated and F5 with winds of 260 miles per hours, it traveled more than 300 miles through…

weather events, it is important for people to know about the different types of tornadoes and how they can effect the places they occur. The rope tornado is the least damaging tornado of them all. Tornadoes have…

Hurricanes and Tornados Umm, where did my house go? Hurricanes can be very dangerous, and so can tornadoes. There are three categories they are the are cost and damage, size and characteristics, also how the tornados and hurricanes are formed. These three categories are very dangerous. Did you know that tornados have a wind of 300 miles an hour! So lets get into it. (Source 3) To begin with, hurricanes and tornados are very destructive. Spencer Adkins a meteorologist says…

of science we look into the past to give us useful information that may help people. For example, by studying past tornadoes we are now able to better locate and warn people when a tornado is near. Present tornadoes allow us to help prepare and form new technologies for the future. Lastly Dr. Gensini spoke of Tornado sensation, what that term means and how it influences our society. In many professions such as history and science people look into…

I opted to conduct my rhetorical analysis and evaluation on the Emergency Preparedness poster from the Ad Council. The print ad or poster in question shows a town that a tornado has ripped through, with markers showing where members of a hypothetical family are located. The message of this particular ad piece is quite simple, in the event of a serious emergency; know where your family is. This in itself speaks to a need in all of us to be connected to our loved ones, especially in a time of…

not a part of the tornado alley. The tornado alley is a wide swath of tornado-prone areas that stretch east of the Rocky Mountains to the Appalachian Mountains, which experience frequent tornadoes. The tornado first touched down at 5:39pm just outside of JJ highway and West 32nd street. Wheatley (2013) stated storm chasers reported seeing multiple vortices around the main circulation of the tornado before becoming engulfed in rain. The Joplin tornado was a multi-vortex tornado, meaning it had…
