Wind tunnel

litter below. Sometimes a spooky wind raced through. This is the stuff horror movies are made of and we were living it. Dangers all around. Certainties nowhere. We came to a stream of light. Where was that coming from? Not ahead, but overhead. When we looked up, we saw a grating. There were only cold steel bars, unmoving bars, and not a way out. Forge on. The smell was all over us now and caused frequent gags. Carole asked, “How far do you think this tunnel goes?” I said, “I don’t know.

In light winds, the bridge decks would bounce vertically, as it was named. Due to this, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge quickly developed a secondary name of “Galloping Gertie”. Accounts of other (smaller) suspension bridges duplicating this type of movement had been heard

Firebrand storms are understood as the only mechanism that can initiate a spot fire at long distances from the fire front. The surface area of the firebrands play an important role in speeding of fire via firebrand. In this paper, the surface area of 1400 firebrands was measured via image processing techniques and then, the uncertainty of the measurement is calculated. It was found that the mean, variance and skewness of the projected area are 3.90, 41.01 and 6.62 respectively. Moreover, the standard

Though Andrew was a small tropical cyclone for most of its lifespan, it caused extreme damage, especially in the Bahamas, Florida, and Louisiana. The vast majority of the damage was as a result of extremely high winds, although a few tornadoes spawned by Andrew caused considerable damage in Louisiana. Throughout the areas affected, almost 177,000 people were left homeless. Outside of the Bahamas, Florida, and Louisiana, effects were widespread, although damage was minimal. Overall, $26.5 billion

My magical dream was interrupted by a strong gust of wind striking my window. Immediately, I sat up and checked my phone. Looking at my weather app, I scanned for a storm warning. A high of 92 degrees with winds of 40 mph. My gut fills with anxiety. “Mom...Mom! There might be a tornado today!” “It's okay Tia, calm down. I already called you out of school today because I know how concerned you get.” “Okay. Thanks mom, I feel better at home knowing that you're safe.” I text my best friend, Liana

They got married and had a child named Denes. Denes was a strong boy, always challenging himself. Because he was a son of Zeus, he had powers that let him control the wind around him! He often did quite dangerous things with his powers; he would roam around his small, crowded village, wreaking havoc amongst the small huts and cottages that filled the countryside. His mother was very protective of him, always trying to

Hell Breaks Loose If there is one thing that commuter students truly fear, it is bad weather. For the commuter student, each weekday is a game of metrological Russian roulette; many times you win, others, you lose. We commuters live on the whim of wind, and when she changes, there’s nothing to do but bow. I’ll readily admit, I was probably due for a catastrophe. As a freshman commuter student who walks from home, I’ve only had a run in with the weather once, but that weather was a gift from Zeus

itself a name that would be printed on T-shirts. We would own such a shirt, which extended its time in our house as a rag for polishing items. I didn’t make up the blizzard, though it sounds made up, the nastiest of blizzard I’ve ever been through, wind chill making it below zero, three feet of snow and snow still falling. You had to shovel your drive daily. Later, a neighbor would tell of coming home after three nights away and have to dig down a foot to reach his own door. My dad had a snow blower

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

Leave your home, your loved ones, your security, and your refuge. Leave it all behind, begin a life of constant threat and survival – a continuous battle of severe weather and starvation – for a hope and a desired promise of a new beginning, a new foundation, and pursuing your faith freely. Would you ever pursue this? Would you leave everything for a future dream? At first, some of us might answer yes, right away, but – Can we, or would we, ever put our words and our thoughts to the test? Would
