It was early in the morning as I was waking up to go to work in the coal mines. I wake up every day worried that I would get hurt today at work. When I got to the mines, i got my equipment ready to start mining, but suddenly I heard a loud explosion! I knew one of the workers got hurt, we all ran away from the explosion because we didn't want to get hurt. Gas was what caused the explosion, which is the scariest accident because we never know when gas is near us because it doesn't smell like…

the water is evaporated from the ocean which fuels the hurricane. b. The heat is released in a tropical thunderstorm is carried away by the wind and it takes the top of the storm. This causes the heat to build up forming a low pressure. c. Hurricanes develop near the equator, moving rapidly towards land; the storm system can produce dangerous destructive winds, scaturient rain, and flooding leaving communities completely dismantled. II. Life Cycle of Hurricanes a. Tropical Depression is formed…

A supercell is a organized thunderstorm that has a very strong updraft (4). These tornadoes form from supercell thunderstorms with equal updrafts and downdrafts (7). Supercell's form in an environment with low atmospheric moisture (10). A rotation helps produce sever weather changes (4). Supercell tornadoes are usually the most dangerous type of tornado (7). Isolation allows them to have more energy and moisture (6). Usually supercell's don't produce that much precipitation (10). Supercell…

Tornadoes look like a funnel or cone. To start, they are really just spinning columns of air. They extend from the sky and touch the ground. However, there are no ways of predicting exactly where of if a tornado will make landfall or how powerful it’s winds will be. Wherever they make landfall, it could be anywhere because,…

of the northwest. It blew all day and all night. By mid-afternoon the next day four foot high drifts blocked our lightly-traveled country road. Not only was the snow deep, but it had been hardened to near concrete consistency by sustained 45 mph winds. The depth and hardness of the snow made it impossible for the township plow to bust through the drifts so we had to wait for the county rotary plow. We were blocked in for three weeks. SURVIVAL BOMBS As a typical farm family of the…

Erik Larson, Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History. New York: Crown Publishers, 1999. 323 pages In the 1900’s, the chief weather man Isaac Cline thought the city of Galveston, Texas was untouchable by anything. In 1900, an immaculate hurricane hit this city. Water levels rose almost two stories high, and houses and cars were ripped from the ground. In “Isaacs Storm” Isaac Cline is telling stories of what happened during the storm, and the aftermath of it all.…

m. Tornadoes can of course happen in any month and at any time wheather it’s in the day or in the night. What causes tornadoes are three different types of air. There is a layer of warm and humid air with south winds near the ground. In the upper atmosphere lies west or southwest cold winds. Instability is what’s created between the surface and the upper level depending on the temperature and moisture differences. The other layer is a hot dry air between the warm moist air in the low levels and…

Weather: Tornadoes What are tornadoes, “the violently rotating winds of destruction”? A tornado is defined as a mobile, violently rotating column extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. The Damage that a tornado can cause depends on the wind speed and the size. The most Violent tornadoes are capable of tremendous destruction with wind speeds of two hundred and fifty miles per hour or more. Damage paths can be in excess of one mile wide and fifty miles long. In an average year, eight hundred…

What is life? One can view life as a spec of dust in the vast vacuum of space, or they can view life as dust in the wind. Written by Kerry Livgren and performed by Kansas on their fifth album, Point of Know Return, “Dustv in the Wind captures the unambiguous story of how life is purposeless and no matter how triumphant we are, death will still occur. “Dust in the Wind” was written by Kerry Livgren ,who was the one of the main songwriters in his famous band Kansas. Kansas performed this song…

A gunshot rings in my ears, and the wind roars around me. Panting I don’t look back at the foggy and gloomy sky. Noises, whispers and voices follow me into the wall of dark muddied trees. The cold air pierces my throat as I inhale faster. My heart beats more rapidly with every step I take deeper into the wilderness. I think I have shaken them from my path and they are trailing far behind me in the distance. I hear the voices again, this time they sound like they are right next to me. I run, I…
