Tornado Simulation

Tornados are one of the most destructive and devastating natural forces on Earth. When a tornado is fully created, wind speeds can reach up to more than 300 mph (483 km/h). Most tornadoes that occur are between the Appalachians and Rocky Mountains, but tornados can happen where ever the conditions are right. 90% of tornadoes that happen in the United States, happens in the Central United States. Even though scientist have not yet understood how tornadoes are formed, they’ve developed a theory that consist of the process and conditions of which a tornado must have to form.

I walk in and a pungent, musty odor hits me in the face like a truck. It looks like a tornado has made its way through here, for there are clothes strewn everywhere. The thickness of the air from the heat off the sun-beaten backs of the athletes covers the room. The constant groaning of the archaic washing machine rings in my ears. The taste of Clorox sits on my lips, and it’s accompanied with the sweat rolling down my

Did the installation take measures prior to the tornado and did the organizations you work with exercise for a tornado in the past? I would be interested to know if the emergency plan was executed as designed or if this event caused changes in the way you will respond in the future.

Tornadoes are devastating atmospheric events that affect the ecology and the lives of people in their paths. Tornadoes are defined as “a violently rotating column of air, in contact with the ground, either pendant from a cumuliform cloud or underneath a cumuliform cloud, and often (but not always) visible as a funnel cloud” (Glossary of Meterology, 2011). The Tri-state tornado was the most deadly tornado in the United States. It stayed on the ground for a total of 219 miles through areas of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, killed a total of 695 people, and an estimated $16.5 million in damages (National Weather Service, 2011). Luckily, the tornado’s path was largely rural farmland with scattered small towns between them. <Add thesis>

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

Although the world is devastated by many natural disasters, the United States are known for their severe, annual destructive tornadoes. A tornado can reach 300 miles per hour and has a funnel-shaped cloud (“11 Facts About Tornadoes”). The way to know if a tornado is forming is if there is hail, a dark or greenish sky, a low lying cloud (possibly rotating), or a loud roar similar to a freight train (“Tornado Facts And History”).

“It had past for only a minute but still destroyed so much” a survivor of the Tri-State tornado had said about his experience with tornado. During the 40 minutes that the tornado had occurred buildings and homes were destroyed and massive damage was caused. The tornado had made about 219 miles of destruction on it’s tracks. The tornado also had a diameter of more than a mile. This tornado was massive and destroyed about everything it touched.

Tornadoes are one really deadly disaster but also fascinating, they are also really dangerous. One fascinating tornado is the Tri-State which happened in 1925. This tornado is interesting to learn and know about. It was very unpredictable like many other tornados. It was one of the most deadliest tornadoes recorded.

Throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s the usage of the word “tornado” in forecasts was prohibited by the Weather Bureau because it was “felt that mention of the word tornado provoked undue fear amongst the public” (Corfidi, 2010). While the ban was lifted eventually lifted, little research progress had been made until 1948 when two US Air Force weather officers successfully predicted a tornado in Oklahoma (2010). The prediction of this event is what led to the establishment of the US Air Force’s Severe Weather Warning Center and developed into what we know today as the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) in Norman, Oklahoma (2010). Officially, 1948 was the beginning of tornado forecasting in the United States, and if we look at it from a prediction accuracy perspective it is still very much in its

The El Reno tornado was 16.2 miles long and 2.6 miles wide, it caused 8 deaths, 151 injuries, and approximately 35-40 million dollars of property damage (Kuster et al. 2015). It was tracked from the east and northeastward and the peak wind speeds were between 130-150 ms^-1 (Wurman et al. 2014). The El Reno tornado was the strongest and widest tornado recorded in history.

The dark green colored sky was enormous; sirens went round the bend to alert people, no lights to find ways to basements and bathrooms. “It was crazier than a bat without eyes,” Darrell Allen had said. The storm got closer as people found ways to us

The month of April in 2011 holds the record of being the deadliest tornado series in the South, Midwest, and Northeast parts of the United States. Mississippi and Alabama was effected the most during this occurrence. A total of 320 deaths caused by tornadoes took place, including about 240 in Alabama alone. With four of the tornadoes measured to be EF5, Dr. Greg Forbes- Weather Channel’s current Severe Weather Expert- categorized this as a super outbreak.

Each tornado differs, but they do have some common patterns to their travel and types of damage, which allow for a set of general predictions and precautions. In the interest of the preservation of life and property and to reduce the destructive effect of tornado pressures and flying debris, we have developed the following procedure.
