Words To Describe A Tornado

Hurricanes and tornadoes are both severe weather events that can potentially cause a great deal of damage to property. Both of these storms can threaten human life and in severe events with either a hurricane of a tornado there may well be a loss of life. They may be quite different in how they form and what they actually do but on the other hand those storms are both potentially devastating so they fall into the same category of potential severe weather danger. People who live in areas where hurricanes and tornadoes are known to appear during certain seasons of the year are always urged to be alert to weather warning systems. Those same residents know from experience to keep their radios tuned to weather emergency stations and they are in many cases prepared for the brunt of a storm by building basement shelters.

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.

A tornado is portraying a mad woman that eventually comes to a calm after being destructive and out of control. Mora is able to do this by using certain diction, an abundance of personification, and the actual shape of the poem. The author depicts the tornado as devastating in saying , “She spews gusts and thunder,” (Mora line 10). Exerting tremendous amounts of swift winds and thunder only leads to disastrous consequences in the area affected. Therefore, using a raging woman as a metaphor for the tornado only adds depth to the writing and gives it life simultaneously. With the pathetic fallacy, “tumbleweed skirt starts its spin,” (13), the furious lady is simulating the same motion as a tornado with her skirt. Furthermore, the diction of ‘tumbleweed’

Jimmy Serrano and his Friend Dustin Trung are biking their way home. Jimmy was mad at Dustin for not talking to him for the past week. “Dustin can you please talk to me. Dustin looks away from Jimmy and focuses his eyes on his spinning tires. “You know what don’t want to talk to you either. Jimmy takes the other way home,leaving Dustin still going the normal way. “Stupid Dustin” Jimmy mutters then suddenly a cat walks in front of Jimmy's bike and Jimmy swerves into a wall. “Awwwwww” Jimmy mutters, he looks at the alley walls painted with Graffiti. It starts raining,the rain splatters the ground so hard that he couldn't hear himself. The streets ahead of him start filling with fog. Then suddenly Jimmy sees a swirling cloud circling above.

Tornadoes and hurricanes appear to be similar in their general structure. Both are characterized by extremely strong horizontal winds swirling around the center, strong upward motion dominating the circulation with some downward motion in the center. The tangential winds far exceed the radial inflow or the vertical motion, and can cause much damage. Hurricanes always rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere (clockwise in the southern), the direction of their rotation being determined by the Earth's rotation. This is almost always true of tornadoes too, although on rare occasions "anticyclonic" tornadoes spinning in the opposite direction do occur (tornadic circulation is determined by the local winds).

As I walked into Hall D of the Kentucky International Convention Center, I noticed half of my team sitting on the green and blue carpet with yellow streaks. I joyfully skipped over to Lexi, my strong back spot, sat down, and started to tie the long, rough-looking white laces of my off-white Tumblina cheer shoes. All around me, I heard murmurs; cheer counts from one to eight, laughing moms and daughters, gossip behind me, and coaches trying to perfect their teams routine before hitting the big mat. I could smell the strong scent of hairspray, hot food right from the restaurant nearby, and the disgusting smell of spray glitter all around me.

First, The two similarities are they both get tornados. They get F-1 tornadoes or F-6 they also get mulitpy tornadoes in one area. LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Preliminary reports indicate that three tornadoes touched down in eastern Nebraska and one in central Iowa on Monday. The National Weather Service says there were two tornadoes in Lancaster County. Law enforcement reported one briefly touched down on the southeast edge of Lincoln This report was May 2016. The above-left graph is annual Kansas tornadoes 1950-2009, along with a 5-year moving average. According to National Weather Service records, the most tornadoes occurred in 2008, when over 180 tornadoes ravaged the Sunflower State.

then, I have always wanted to warn people of what to look for and how to prepare

On May 22, 2011 the city of Joplin, of Missouri, was impacted by an EF-5 tornado. There were 158 deaths with over a thousand injured because of the tornado. There was also an EF-2, EF-3, EF-4, and EF-1 at the same time as well. The tornado was on the ground for 22.1 miles and lasted 38 minutes from start to finish. EF-5s have been reported as having mini tornados inside the EF-5 tornados. EF-5s are the powerfulliest and biggest tornadoes in history. Even though they are big and powerful, they travel very slow, so it will be very easy to possibly outrun one in a car. Tornadoes will sound like a loud roar, or a freight train. To know when a tornado is coming, the sky will turn dark, or sometimes a greenish color and as I said before, you

Hi, Tonoah I love your name! You made excellent points in your discussion post. I had a similar interpretation of this week's question. I agree with you; the scriptures seem like it could speaking about a tornado. I look at these scriptures like seasons of life. People are born in winter, spring, summer, and fall- and pass away the same. I enjoy reading other people's interpretation of the Bible. These scriptures are very thought provoking- do you agree?

Tornadoes and hurricanes are the strongest and powerfulness storms we know of. They both have a lot of differences and similarities. And we are here to discuss them. Buckle up!

Tornadoes cause a lot of damage making communities and volunteers to help rebuild from the damages the volcano left, also tornadoes are dangerous since they can change directions suddenly at a high speed of 290 MPs making these not have a certain direction once it hits the ground. Tornadoes are classified using the Fujita scale- FO being not so dangerous since they only stir up dust and break a few limbs off a tree. F5’s are potentially deadly destroying houses and lifting up vehicles as well as other objects

As we walked into the gym a mixed scent of bleach and sweat hit my nose, burning it in its wake. As I covered my nose from the unbearable smell I was able to find my team, sitting

Tornadoes are one of the deadliest and most unpredictable villains mankind will ever face. There is no rhyme or reason, no rhythm to it’s madness. Tornados are one of the most terrifying natural events that occur, destroying homes and ending lives every year. April 29th, 1995, a calm, muggy, spring night I may never forget. Jason, a buddy I grew up with, just agreed to travel across state with me so we could visit a friend in Lubbock. Jason and I were admiring the beautiful blue bonnets, which traveled for miles like little blue birds flying close to the ground. The warm breeze brushed across the tips of the blue bonnets and allowed them to dance under the perfectly clear blue sky. In the distance, however, we
