Severe thunderstorm warning

Introduction American Airlines Flight 1420 tragically crashed on June 1, 1999. The flight crew attempted to land the McDonnell Douglas DC-9-82 in Little Rock, Arkansas during a thunderstorm. The aircraft overran the runway, crashing through several obstacles before coming to rest 800 feet from the end of the runway. Eleven people were killed and over 100 injured. This preventable accident was the result of human error, miscommunication, and poor decision making. After investigating the Flight

such as dark, often greenish sky, wall clouds, large hail, and loud roaring sound like a train. The National Weather Service broadcasts watches and warnings for tornadoes as well as for thunderstorms. The civil defense sirens are sounded at night in conjuction with the warnings when everyone is asleep because they may not aware of the watches or warnings, if the town has them. Some other effects of these monsters are that people loose their houses and properties and for some without insurance it is

May 18, 1925 began as a normal as a normal day for the people of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, and quickly spawned into a nightmare for many. The weather quickly changed to a storm thunderstorm around midday in Missouri that was capable of producing a tornado (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration[NOAA], 2000). However, due to the lack of technological advancements of the time, forecasters were unaware of the full potential of this storm. The tornado produced from this storm began small

000 tons of snow. There was over 6 hours of flight delays. 13 emergencies. Risk of water loss. There wasn’t any safe roads. The tops of trees were leveled off. Cars are buried. It was called Lake Storm “Aphid”. Before the storm, there was some thunderstorms,

In this case, there was a stage collapse during a concert by Sugarland at the Indiana State Fair. This was caused by a severe thunderstorm that was earlier predicted in the area. This stage collapse caused the deaths of 7 people and injured 58 people (Chicago Tribune). The National Weather Service had issued warnings concerning the weather on that material day. In as much as there were talks concerning delaying the show, the event organizers decided that the show would still continue and would stop

hurricane moves over land or cooler waters, it will start to slow until the winds are no longer forceful enough to sustain the storm. There are 10-15 hurricanes each year. A tornado forms during a severe thunderstorm known as a supercell. A supercell generally is able to last longer than a normal thunderstorm. Tornadoes form when cool dry polar air meets with warm moist tropical air. The wind entering into the storm begins to swirl and forms a funnel. The funnel spins faster and faster until it forms

Mother Earth Learning and understanding the definition on what is a natural disaster it’s a major concern for every human being. A natural disaster is a major event caused by nature or natural processes of our planet Earth. The cruelty and severity of the accident is and will be measured on how many lives are lost, how much damaged they get from the disaster, the economic catastrophe and loss taken by the population, and how long will it take the population to rebuilt everything back again. Many

A tornado is a violent windstorm characterized by a twisting, funnel-shaped cloud. It is spawned by a thunderstorm (or sometimes as a result of a hurricane) and produced when cool air overrides a layer of warm air, forcing the warm air to rise rapidly. Tornadoes can cause a lot of damage and even deaths. The damage from a tornado is a result of the high wind velocity and wind-blown debris. Tornado season is generally March through August, although tornadoes can occur at any time of year. They tend

region is at times a leap of faith which only Mother Nature controls, yet societally this is an excepted risk. We have many advantages over our predecessors; statistic and evidence based weather forecasting improvements, radar, satellite imaging, warning and alert systems of various kinds, field Storm Spotters and Chasers documenting these magnificent wonders. However, we still professedly fail to convincingly communicate the dangers of these destructive beasts.

It all started bright sunny day at my house in Dierks, Arkansas. It was bright and sunny this August day, but not for long. This day did not feel like a usual August day in Dierks,Arkansas. This was the time that I faced the greatest fear of my life. After lunch we all went to the park to play a game of baseball. We all got to the park and got on the field. My dad noticed some dark clouds rolling in from the west. My mom said that the news was calling for some storms later today but not this early
