The Joplin tornado traveled for 22 miles on the ground , the highest winds that this tornado had was 200mph 320km. Another fact is that this dangerous Tornado went to be an EF5 tornado, The to tornado had been EF3 , then made its way up to an EF5 tornado. One more fact is that this terrible twister had started at 5:30 and end ended at 6:12 , there was a warning siren for about 20 mins but for some 20 mins was not enough time.

Based on this, the tornado was absolutely massive. Also, it had been reported that when the tornado “crossed the Mississippi...local witnesses said the river was ‘swept dry’...” (Douglas, Paul). This tornado was really a force to be reckoned with. In the end, the Sauk Rapids tornado lasted only about thirteen minutes, but devastatingly “killed 72 people and injured more than 200 and caused over $400,000 in damages. In 2015 dollars, that would be roughly $10.4 million dollars” (NWS Des Moines). All of this is why the Sauk Rapids tornado became known as the deadliest tornado ever in Minnesota history.

Either their physical effects are felt by multiple communities in a region or the response to them draws support from a region’s communities. Communities like Joplin and those found along the Gulf Coast are typically called upon to assist when any disaster strikes close to home. In the case of Joplin, MO, the tornado affected people and business that were directly in the path of the tornado which physically leaves much of the remainder of the town undamaged as well as Joplin’s surrounding communities and therefore able to render response. Katrina’s, destructive effects were experienced by more people in more communities than who or what the Joplin tornado effected. Katrina’s effects quickly overwhelmed state and local response efforts and required Federal intervention. The magnitude of damage done to the Gulf Coast communities, including New Orleans, was the result of the hurricane exploiting vulnerabilities that were difficult, time-consuming, and prohibitively expensive to

The article Joplin tornado shows how a tornado can be so dangerous. The reason why it was so dangerous is because it was one of the deadliest tornadoes in U.S. history. Also one hundred fifty-eight people died and more than one thousand people were injured. Another thing is that it was a F-5 tornado.

Since the beginning of time there have been countless weather disasters, which include hurricanes, floods and tornadoes. Comparable to other natural disasters, there is a great deal of severe damage to properties, businesses and unfortunately loss of life. There were a total of 422 tornadoes throughout the country in 1953. Texas has endured a multitude of disastrous storms; however on May 11, 1953 there was a particular storm that forever transformed a city called Waco, Texas known as 1953 Waco Tornado.

Tri-State Tornado; March 18th, 1925 a major fatality happened. A tornado happens when moist and dry air create a funnel,which turns into a tornado. The Tri-State Tornado happened three miles Northeast of Ellington, Missouri and made its way through Illinois and Indiana. More than 13,000 people were injured and 585-695 people died. This devastation was hard to recover from. In this project we are going to see which out of History Channel and US Tornadoes tells me more about the Tri-State Tornado.

On May 4, 2007, the town of Greensburg, Kansas was devastated by an exceptionally strong tornado. With maximum winds estimated to be in excess of 205 miles per hour, and leaving a damage path as wide as 1.7 miles, the storm would go on to be rated a rare EF5, the first recorded in the United States since 1999. When the storm finally subsided, 95 percent of Greensburg had been destroyed, killing eleven people.

The Joplin tornado was the biggest tornado on the record for that year. The Joplin tornado was the most powerful tornado that people have ever seen.

In the articles, “Joplin Tornado: The Evil Swirling Darkness” and “A Storm Chaser’s First-Hand Account of the Joplin Tornado,” they both explain how disastrous the Joplin Tornado was, and how it affected the people who experienced it. The articles detail how the people in Joplin were so panicked. They both explain how, everyone started to panic and find out that it was not a false alarm tornado, they knew the tornado was on the ground. In fact, they both state what people did to prevent getting hurt, by going into different types of shelter. Of course it was a disastrous tornado, but people still helped each other after the disaster, because there were no firemen or police to help everyone trapped in the fallen buildings. Therefore, both articles explain how the Joplin tornado was not only terrifying, but traumatizing.

The Joplin EF5 Tornado was very devastating. 161 people lost their lives during the disaster. The Joplin Tornado was so high on the top ten scale (only of the U.S.) it was categorized as the third worst tornado in the U.S. history. The natural disasters rating is very high on a top ten scale. It is rated EF5 (5/5) on the Fujita scale. The tornado forms when cold air and warm air collide, which forms a whirlwind.

The Tri-State Tornado affected Missouri, Indiana, and Illinois greatly through the 219 miles of damage. People in 1925 were unprepared due to the lack of technology in 1925. 75 years ago the tornado surprised people because they had no warning. In fact, the 1974 Oklahoma tornado outbreak, with 45 tornadoes in total, did not kill as many people as the Tri-State tornado. The difference in years is 49, that proves that the technology in 1974 was significant compared to the lack of technology in 1925. They were much more prepared for the tornados that occurred. If the tornado occurred today, the tornado would kill less people because the weather channels could see the tornado was approaching. The the wind speed of the tornado was 318 mph at it's

Danielle argues that despite the fact that the tornado that hit East Nashville in 1998 brought the residents of that area initially closer together by creating a greater sense of communality, in the long run, the way the community was re-imagined—along ideas of equal or mutual beneficial development, was shaped by cultural racism. As a consequence, the revitalization efforts reinforced racially exclusive residential patterns, as the mainly poor African American residents of places like Cayce Homes were excluded from the process and did not benefit from these massive investments. Moreover, as the revitalization efforts have been heavily focused on the image of the area right from the start, “community control” groups, in close cooperation with

In 1999, there was a terrible tornado in West Virginia. My mother, Lora Reynolds, who currently lives in Spokane Washington lived through the tornado was in the tornado off the 90 highway when it hit . She had just come back from visiting her Aunt in Providence Care Hospital who had a heart attack that day. Lora said that when she was heading home from the hospital that the first sign of the storm was the hale had begun to ran down. She had thought that the where perhaps rocks battering against the sides and the front until she realized that that was not it at all. Lora said the hale was the size of a golfballs or almost the size of golf balls.

During the year of 2011, a disastrous and devastating EF5 tornado hit Joplin, Missouri. Overall, there was destruction to more than 7,000 structural buildings and home. The EF5 tornado killed about 162 individuals. The projected destruction to buildings that were covered under insurance goes beyond one billion dollars, which causes it to be the greatest insurance disbursement within Missouri history. Instantaneous expenses would consist of deaths of individual and the loss of property or destruction. Household incomes are capable of becoming strained and government funding could be unavailable with the efforts of rebuilding and renovation. Once a natural disaster strikes the replacement assets could perhaps be more productive compared to original capital, which could result in a boosted economic development.

A tornado is defined as a violently rotating column extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. 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 more than one mile wide and fifty miles long. In an average year, eight hundred tornadoes are reported nationwide, resulting in eighty deaths and over one thousand five hundred injuries. In the body of my essay, I will tell you about types of tornadoes, where tornadoes come from, where and when tornadoes occur, the damage they inflict, variations of tornadoes, and how to detect tornadoes.
